While i was browsing suddenly an Exploit Detected popup (sadly i wasnt able to do a screenshot, and cant find any thing in notification or shield logs)
I pressed scan my pc button then avast trayIcon disappeared,
oppening avast doesnt work the trayicon will just appear for a few second then disappear again,
i did some scan no detection (malwarbytes, emisoft emergency kit, tdsskiller),
after a restart everything is okay
i also tried going back to the firefox session and nothing is detected (if curious i was browsing gimp and libgdx )
avast free version 21.11.2500 (build 21.11.6809.528)
virus def 220114-2
firefox version 96.0
Thanks for the feed-back and for reporting back on this. This may help other folks that are being confronted to similar issues. Very responsible behaviour of you to post this heads-up. That is the right attitude.
this happened again after updating firefox and while updating extensions (i have screenshot this time )
not sure if to create a new thread or continue this
it seems avast crash if you click Scan My PC ,
its possible its an FP from the extension

Hello, I’ve looked at your latest posted logs. The issue here isn’t malware-related per see, rather AV flags the browser part as FP.
What you should do (if the issue is not fixed) is to reset all your browsers back to their default settings. You can use google for info on how to.
The next step would be to remove unnecessary browser extensions (as you have the number) and leave only the useful to you as one extension probably triggers the AV.
