[Fixed] FP? Malware https://play.google.com/

[system]

thank you very much for fixing the problem so swiftly!

it was really quite annoying being spammed every time I opened a new tab, clicked my URL bar, etc.

[system]

Yup it’s either a false positive, or there is a mayor hack going against the playstore.

havent seen a resolution on that yet. will give it til the morning. I’m going to bed. had enough internet shenanigans for one day.

[system]

I’m still getting threat’s blocked, hopefully this is fixed soon.

[system]

So I think I have the streamed update but the issue is still there

Avast note
[b]Hi everyone,
This was a false positive that was live for around 30 min, between 5:15am and 5:45am CET (GMT +1). We just disabled it and pushed the fix through streaming updates.

So our computers are getting spammed to annihilation we use gmail for work email and everytime someone uses it, it spams us with Malware notifications detected at https://play.google.com/ :o

EDIT: Also worth noting it’s not just Avast Business, my home computers which run Avast Pro and Internet Security are also going crazy, a new notification every 60 seconds.

The funny part is that at the bottom of the page there’s an ad “Avast recommends using
the FREE Chrome™ internet browser.” haha.

I’m still getting this false positive whenever I google something. I’m relieved that I’m not the only one experiencing this, and that it doesn’t seem like something I should be too concerned about. The popup is annoying however.

A fix would be much appreciated.

[system]

Did an update, then a restart and it seems all is well now.

Same here. I was even getting it in Outlook when it pulled in my email from Gmail. Seems to be fixed now.

[system]

Everything seems to be fine on my end now.

Thank you for the quick fix

Fucking great.

They claim protecting us from phishing and yet again put in a false alert looping and suggesting, there is something wrong. Hence, payed antivirus protection program is purchased from them. You tick the alarm, and it pops up every 10 to 30 seconds time and time again. Check the guarantine list being empty, but then another note is shown for additional purchases, not fixing the shit.

Thanks Avast for sucking up my money for something, not necessary for my needs… Perfect policy making money.

The verification is too complicated. Not really visible, what alphabets are actively shown. absolutely fantastic. Requesting new image does not help either.

Strangely I didn’t experience this at all today until this evening, when I experienced it starting about 9:30PM PDT. It continued for about 45 minutes. I’m using Avast Mac Security, virus defs are 17032001. I don’t think the end of the play.google.com FP warnings corresponded to a virus def update, but I could have just missed it.
