I have same detection when i open youtube. I have never seen malware on youtube but everything is possible.
You can report a suspected FP (File/Website) here: https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php
Well the thing is I did not even have my browser opened. Only some background googlechrome processes. I was playing a videogame when I heard the warning sound. Spooky.
Just started having this issue too. I haven’t downloaded anything from an unverified source recently, I checked the link on VirusTotal, along with doing system scans with both avast and Malwarebytes and nothing showed up. I’d mark this down as a false positive. Chrome will also occasionally check for updates even when closed, I believe.
Same, I was only looking at twitter and wikipedia when it popped up.

Hello this is betgaav67.
Thanks for your replies. I scanned my system with avast, Malwarebytes+adwcleaner right after I got the issue and found nothing. I do share your point of view that this is a false positive but a bitter aftertaste remains so I’d like to get some confirmation from a mod if possible.
Should be fixed now.
Ok, but any explanation for that?
False positive that’s been addressed.
