Hello. This morning, central Europe, i’ve turned on PC and some time later Avast tried to run autoupdate or scan for auto updates as always does, and for the first time i got a pop-up from the app about threat getting blocked from infection. I assume that this is false-positive, because it came straight from Avast servers, but should i be concerned?
When you say Auto update, are you talking about updating the definitions or the program version?
Most won’t visit a 3rd party link, not knowing what the content might be.

I don’t know what i’m doing wrong, or if something is broken on my side, but i already tried that and it doesn’t show any attachments i put, this is why i used imgur url instead
I think it’s virus definitions, because the app wasn’t updating. From time to time Avast is launching its processes in task manager, avast overseer, avast install setup and something else. This time, when this happened at morning, i got a pop-up from Avast that a threat was neutralized, because it detected that the website that AV was trying to connect, was infected with URL:blacklist, and that site url seemed like one of avast servers
