I installed the latest version of free Avast. Reinstalled program. Ran Malwarebytes Anti Malware Scan in Safe Mode. Pop up continues from Avast; a red square “Malicious URL Blocked”–Avast network shield has blocked a threat’s more information “Click”. It directs you to Avast web site & it wants to sign you up for a paid subscription. I cancel the pop up and it reapears in 5 to 20 seconds.
avast does not redirects you or ask for sign up.
You most probably was a victim of a fraudulent program.
Can you post more info about the url and the virus warning?

Jan Sirmer
um… not :-[ got it when I picked up on this reply
Do you mean, you are still getting the alert on zynga.com or you are no longer getting the alert ?
See image, just visited and no alert, ensure that you have the latest virus definitions version installed.
There hasn’t been a new push of definitions since 2am - which was the push that messed it up again. The update may have been done internally, but I keep trying to grab a new definition in avast, and theres nada.
Also note: The Zynga.com itself website doesn’t have the issue popup, its only the toolbar.
Hello,
it will be in VPS 100830-0
sorry for delay i missed 100829-1.

Bringing this back from the dead. I installed Avast thinking my old Antivirus was buggy. Unfortunately i am getting the same problem and avast is picking it up. I have completely scanned the computer with malwarebytes and avast. Malwarebytes found 0 and Avast found a MEMORY.DMP under the System32 folder which the file was delete by Avast. I really don’t know what else i can do, the computer seems to be working totally fine, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and help!
i meant to add, that this comes up when i go to Google, and do a search for example lets say Avast. something within those results triggers the alert. But if i was to go straight to avast.com no warnings come up at all.
This keeps happening to me and is getting very annoying now. It is popping up every 5 minutes.
How do i stop it?
