Hello, I have used Avast Free Edition for many years. No problems till now.
My husband had this problem first, now I have the same problem.
Warnings keep popping up saying I have a trojan, doesn’t matter what site I’m at.
I tried looking through the Avast site for a solution & didn’t see where this is addressed although, I did see many posts about the problem when I googled it.
Just got another while typing a message on face book! Sigh, what is going on? I ran a scan with malwarebytes & advanced system care & nothing comes up. We need help please?
Thanks so much!
Thanks to all who helped, the problem is Resolved!
If you have this problem here’s what I did:
I went to Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> Located: “Anti-Phishing Domain Advisory”> Uninstalled it>>> No More Problem!!!
Anti-Phishing Domain Advisor has some suspect links which Avast does not like. If you do not have that tool then look at the toolbars/addons that you have just acquired
If it’s in the vault leave it there. After several weeks re-scan (right click) while it’s in the vault. Then and only then you can safely “restore” it to it’s original
place. Keep in mind a copy will remain in the vault.
Did not know I had Anti-Phishing Domain Advisor installed, but found it when I went to ADD or REMOVE PROGRAMS. i removed it and have not had a reoccurance of the warning. Thank you Essexboy!!!
I looked & found I also had the “Anti-Phishing Domain Advisory” installed, found it in ADD or REMOVE PROGRAMS!
I uninstalled it hoping that it’ll solve the problem on ours too!
Q’s: How did I get it? Do I need one to replace it? Do you know if it came along with a program?
Thanks everyone for the HELP! Am so looking forward to no more pop up/warnings!
Not for quite some time, I can’t remember the last time. I thought they were a good site to use tho?
The only things I know of that I’ve downloaded was updates on Malwarebytes, Advanced System Care & Avast.
I do have grandkids tho…
Found it on the other computer too, uninstalled it, hoping, so far nothing on this one! Yea!
I’m also experienced the same thing. It’s never happen before, but lately the signs of warning always come out. I’ve already checked using others antivirus showing there’s no virus in my pc. yet, it stills pop up and it disturbs my works.
I have been bombarded with similar pop-up pointing to the same purported virus/malware since about 4-5 days. And the threat was about the URL http://urlfilter.vmn.net/vmnsbf/data/121118112548-m.zip|121118112448-m.list and it was reported to reside in my PC @ C:\ProgramData\Anti-PhishingDomainAdvisor\visicom_antiphishing.exe.
And I checked for the program through Control Panel–>Programs—>Programs And Features(in Vista) and, indeed, I found “Anti-Phishing Domain Advisor.” I have just un-installed it and hope that I have seen the last of Avast Threat Pop-ups.
It is possible that if you got two anti-virus programs in the same computer, one might fight the other. As they say, there can not be two swords in a single sheath!!!
