I have been getting a alert that Avast stopped a HTML:RedirME-inf [Trj] from connecting to my computer. I have run both Malware bytes and Avast multiple times but I still get the alert. I have also done a system restore and after reinstalling firefox I still get the alert.
Any help?
Attach your basic diagnostic logs. (MBAM and FRST)
Instructions: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=194892
Here.
Here are the other two files/
also a screenshot of avast message so we can see all info given
This seriously pops up about every 15 minutes.
redirect is located on > mapsgoogle.com > redirect to > hxxp://xx8.ichannel.com/?gkwrf=http%3A%2F%2Fmapsgoogle.com%2F
Only avast/AVG detect

The real url for google maps is > maps.google.com
Try clear your firefox history / cache
You may also run AdwCleaner >> https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
Yep, I think I learned what the real google link is now eyeroll
Since avast stopped this link every time, do I need to worry about it infecting my computer at all?
It does not have to be malicious, it redirect to advertisement site
Avast is just telling you that there is a redirect
I will notify the malware experts and they will check your FRST logs when online
Which websites are loaded when this happens?
