HI, I’ve been using Avast for over a year now but since about the past 2 or 3 days whenever I do a search I get a message saying threat has been detected. It happens no matter which search engine I use, Yahoo, Google any of them, every time. I’ve scanned the computer manually and did a boot time scan as well as checked the automatic scans and nothing is found but a check of my network shields shows 28 connections blocked. I’ve even downloaded Malwarebytes today and scanned and it didn’t find anything either. What’s going on? Below is a warning message that I copied. Any help or insight you can provide would be appreciated.

ok I have to leave for a little while. I want to be here when it’s scanning so I’ll come back & do it.
yep Avast didn’t close before combo fix ran. so what do I need to do?
The weird thing now is, it only does it on firefox not on explorer
Did combofix produce a log ?
If it did, I can’t find it. Where do I look? And it’s still doing it. But remember I still had Avast going when it ran. Do I need to uninstall combo fix then reinstall it?
Also since it only does it on firefox now and not on explorer, should I also uninstall the reinstall firefox?
Could you run a fresh OTL scan please selecting all users and I will look at Firefox
