Can I tell Avast to not alert me each time it blocks a threat?
Thanks.
It seems you have something (possible infection) in your computer that try to call home
How to recive help guide is found at top in viruses and worms forum section
This forum isn’t working right because the page froze and it appeared my post hadn’t been posted. So I kept trying… My software says everything is just fine and dandy.
.My software says everything is just fine and dandy.That is not what you say in your post above....
When Avast says it BLOCKS something, that means that thing has NOT gotten into your computer. So I am not infected. Maybe it’s my Firefox, which isn’t totally behaving properly. For example, it won’t let me delete the address history in the address bar no matter how many times I follow the instructions to the letter. Anyway, the URL that’s bugging me is hxxp://54.191.159.30/trinity.js?key_maker={%221131607300%22:%221010459795e3ea206a0c%22,%221131607728%. Over and over again. Can’t something be done to stop it from attacking my machine or from the notification bothering me?
We deal with cases like this evry day… See viruses and worms forum section
Follow instructions in guide at top there and it will be fixed
Pondus,
I wanted to respond but something happened here, and I couldn’t. Why do you say something is wrong when the software is blocking things as it should?
Malwarebytes (paid version) says everything is fine. Avast Internet Security says everything is fine.
My computer is NOT infected. I just want to stop the desktop notifications.
Can someone explain to me why I’m being told that my computer is infected when I am getting a notification that says that
AVAST
HAS
BLOCKED
BAD
STUFF???
I just don’t understand.
Thank you.
no security program have 100% detection … if they did there would not be a internet virus problem
yes avast is blocking a bad URL … most likely you have something that try to connect to that URL and avast/malwarebytes does not detect that

Pondus,
I went to those links, but unfortunately I have no idea what it all means.
Para-Noid,
What am I supposed to do on that board? It’s a forum. What am I supposed to post? I am totally confused. who is going to check my computer if I post and what should I post? Maybe I should just contact Avast. I have their total support package. I just thought posting here might be useful before I contact them.
Hi bgranat,
I can understand your frustration and annoyance at the repeated block notifications. However, avast! is doing it’s job. Notifications such as these are rarely false positive. Or, would you rather have avast! not detect the threat? Just saying.
Exactly why you should go and get expert help here in the forums. Help here is free.
The pop-ups have stopped. I have Avast Total Support. Maybe I should call them, because I don’t know where or how to “get help” here. Who are the people giving help? How do I know they know their stuff?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I’m pleased that Avast is doing its job, but I didn’t know that the popup meant there was something BAD on my computer. That’s what you all are saying is the case, right?
I looked at the instructions. I don’t want to do all that. I think I’ll call Avast Total Support if it happens again and let them do it. That’s why I bought the package. I probably shouldn’t have posted here, but I thought it might just be a quick setting to stop the notifications and still let Avast do its job. I don’t have time or the expertise to mess around with all these programs. ; ) I started in Google looking for answers and stumbled upon this forum…
Whether you use Total Support or not is up to you. Here at the forums, we use log-based detection programs where you run the first three programs and attach the logs. Then a certified malware removal expert is contacted for you (link you were provided is from essexboy, one of several certified malware removal experts and is the main one here) and will guide you through the cleansing process. All this is for free.
What we are saying is that avast! is likely blocking some unknown malware on your system from calling home, likely to a malicious server, and downloading even more bad stuff onto your system. We don’t want that to happen.
Again, up to you which way you choose to go.
Like to make something clear about the help here provided. Your remarks fill me with a bit of sadness.
There is a well-known proverb for this attitude: “You can lead a horse etc. etc.”.
When after ten years of daily experience with these issues, the official avast support forum is not able to help the victims of such continuous alerts? Well, then I do not know what these users are doing here.
We have a small group of rather experienced helpers on these here forums. People who were in training and went through an online bootcamp, like the folks from G2G etc, and they were only allowed to help others when they have proven beyond any doubt to their teachers they can do this according to certain standards. These people are qualified removal helpers, they have a qualification that is being recognized all over the Internet, yes also by MS and other organizations. Then we have website analysis, also by volunteers, with relevant knowledge in website security matters, they went through thousands and thousands of websites with a malcode flea-comb and can see directly from some snip of code what attack was being performed, what exploit was being abused and what security measures had not been taken and what software was not properly being updated or fully patched or what combination of CMS and server software meant a risk, what DNS errors there are, security header and domain issues, IP blocks etc. etc. etc.
In the case of the earlier mentioned qualified malware removers, other users without these qualifications are not allowed to help because they may easily ruin a computer beyond repair because a malware removal routine is made up for a particular victim’s computer with a particular configuration etc. etc. So all cures are uniquely made up for so-and-so victim on such-and-such a computer.
To question the offered help here is actually showing quite some disrespect for those qualified helpers and others that try to help victims here on the community forum just for the good of their souls and invest their free time to get the gratitude of a victim for a problem solved. All these people are volunteers yes, but they are not amateurs or incompetent helpers.

Polonus,
I apologize if I appeared to lack respect. I just don’t know who is who here. I couldn’t discern who was saying what to me. I should have probably spent the time to acquaint myself with the forum and how it was set up, but I didn’t have the time to delve into that. Again, I apologize.
I think it would be a good idea to have a thread that stands out that introduces new people to the forum and how it operates. If there was one, I surely didn’t see it. I just looked again and didn’t see anything. It would help a person like me who is new and just looking for help. Just a thought.
