Updated to build 25.6.10221.939 (June 17, 2025) and now gmail blocked

[Xenon2000]

Gmail has worked fine with Avast for over a decade for me. But today I updated to build 25.6.10221.939 (June 17, 2025), restarted my computer, and now gmail in chrome goes blank with an Avast popup saying:

We prevented your connection to mail . google . com because it is a dangerous webpage. Threat category HTML:ExtortMail-NS [Scam] , process chrome.exe

I have to turn off Avast to access Gmail.

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

You could try adding an exception for the mail (.) google (.) com in the AvastUI > Settings > Exceptions rather than disabling Avast.

You could report it:

• New location to report both a False Positive and or a False Negative (for File or URL) - Choose Your Sample Submission Type | Avast
• You won’t get a direct response but it should be analysed within 48 hours, if found to be false it will be removed.

I’m not using 25.6.xxxx yet I have program updates set to manual and monitor the forum.
