I’ve been using Avast for a few months now and I neves had any problems with Google Chrome.
Las saturday 03/16/2013 while facebooking I got a notification about a post I was tagged in. At opening I got a link (which I opened becaus it was from a close friend), when I clicked on the link I got an Avast notification about a Trojan virus and that it was blocked.
It liked a lot of horrible group profiles and followed a lot of persons I’ve never even knew about (I’m still trying to unfollow/unlike, but they keep appearing)
Now, my problem is Avast recognizes Chrome as a trojan (or something like that), every time I open a site or refresh I get the same message from the antivirus that I have a Trojan
PHP:FakeExt-A [trj]. I noticed the Ext part so I tried accessing the ext menu on Chrome but I got blocked in its place I get redirected to a video site and blocked by Avast.
I executed Avast, Malwarebytes, adaware and no treats were found. And it’s becomming quite upseting to get the same message everytime I open/refresh a site in Chrome.

OK now start chrome as normal and then disable the extensions one by one
Testing between each for the alert
Once you locate which one is causing the problem could you let me know and then uninstall it
Disabled them one by one.
The alert keeps showing up even tough all extensions are disabled.
There’s only one that doesn’t allow me to disable it: Adobe Flash Player (3.38), also the option to delete it dissapeared.

Will do.
Do you think this will remove it from all accts on this pc?
Today I opened my father’s session and alerts still pops-up on that acct and I’m guessing on my brother’s is the same.
