why does avast not prevent jollypulse malware

2

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.

I’m not familiar with this, so I googled it ‘jollypulse malware’.

This one came from Microsoft

The jollypulse[.]co[.]in pop-up dialog you’re seeing is most likely a browser notification scam.

So you may have a dodgy add-on in your browser ?
not start by clearing your browser cache and cookies, including 3rd party cookies and restart your browser.

  • If that resolves it you should be good to go.[br]If it doesn’t try running your browser with add-ons disabled.
  • If that resolves it, have you added or updated any add-ons ?
  • If so try disabling that add-on - and restart and try again.

If still not resolved and you are using Chrome based browser

  • try this suggestion by Avast Team member ‘lukor’
  • What about page notifications? Here: chrome://settings/content/notifications ? Do you have all cleared?
