Threat has been detected URL:Mal

Viruses and worms
1

All of a sudden I keep getting pop-up notices from Avast stating that a threat has been detected. It is always the exact same message and information. I have attached a copy of what the pop-up says.

I have run malware bytes and it did not find anything at all and I have not been downloading anything or clicking on strange links. I also have not added any plugins to my browser than the one I have always used and that is click and clean and this did not start until a couple hours ago.

I don’t understand what it is or what I am supposed to do. It even popped up while logging in to this site

Any assistance would be so very much appreciated.

I am running windows 8.1 64bit home version and I use google chrome for my browser.

Thank You

I wasn’t sure if this was actual malware or not since MalwarBytes showed the pc to be clean and the avast smart scan didn’t come up with anything either.

I will go and check out that post.

Thanks :slight_smile:

I have followed the steps as suggested at https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Here are the results of those tests.

just went to look at the malware bytes log since adding the check mark to scan for rootkits did find something (but it was in a program that I had not even had a chance to install yet. Anyway, when I opened that log it was empty so I went back in and saved it again to my desktop and have attached it here (as well as the one that I ran before coming here about that popup notice.

(oddly enough that program that I have not installed yet, but was on my desktop has been there for about 2 weeks with no issues - just thought I would let you know - either way, I did allow malware bytes to take care of it.
