FIXED: VPS 170222-0 is already out and fixes this false positive. Moroni
UPDATE: This False Positive detection should be fixed very soon with a new vps update. Moroni
Today i had 2 virus alerts from safe sites. One was xchat.cz and second on google.cz What happens? Cant belive this is real virus. Thanks
UPDATE: Not only those sites! Also if i run FULL SCAN, thousands of files are detected as virus! Can u imagine what happen if some user delete those files and no more boot up PC? This is unacceptable! Thank you avast. This is not first time i see that huge mistake in your products.
I’m also getting this exact problem on random websites I go to, roughly every five minutes. I scanned my computer with avast, roguekiller, malwarebytes and several others and none found anything either.
Omg same here, i thought it was a virus coz i was upgrading some drivers…I wasted 3 hours trying to undestand if it was really a virus or just a bug of avast
I am getting the same thing. It’s been driving me nuts and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome. Looks like it’s an Avast issue, hope it gets fixed soon.
Getting Malware blocked pop-ups for Twitch. Ran varies scans except Avast’s after reading the 1000’s of flagged item reports. Something is flagged incorrectly in these definitions.
I have Avast on 2 computers: my desktop and my laptop. I’m getting the same issue on my desktop, I put it into silent mode so it won’t bug me to death, but I do hope they fix this soon otherwise I may have to find another AV for the time being. My laptop I haven’t updated yet and I think I will continue to refrain from doing so until I know this is fixed.
Ugh. I foolishly made everything a giant mess because of the stupid false positives. Well. That was my bad and I’ll own it. But I’m not renewing my Avast subscription next month. :\
