I’ve been having a bit of a frustrating experience lately with Avast constantly sending me notifications while I’m trying to enjoy some online content. Whether I’m watching YouTube, Netflix, or just browsing the web, the Web Shield feature keeps alerting me—sometimes even when I’m not doing anything at all!
This “threat” seems to be a website called “api.tnagofsg,” which Avast flags as a threat under its URL:Blacklist threat category. I can’t tell you how annoying this is, especially since I feel like it’s slowing down my internet speed, too.
I went ahead and reported it as a false positive and waited the suggested 48 hours, but sadly, I still haven’t seen any improvements. After an update, I even received a message saying, “Scheduled Maintenance is now complete. Thank you for your patience,” which gave me a glimmer of hope. However, that was for the website and sadly the notifications keep coming, and it feels like nothing has changed.
I’m reaching out because I really need some help resolving this issue—it’s becoming quite important for my browsing experience! Right now, I have five detected threats showing up while I’m just trying to explain this issue. If anyone has insights or suggestions on how to stop this issue, it would be really helpful if you’d help me!
Well if you aren’t trying to connect to this site ?
Then it is suspect to start with, but there isn’t much information to work with.
A screen shot of the Avast Alert window with the See Details option selected might help.
If this is happening when connecting to different sites you are visiting there is a likelihood that there is something in your browser is making that connection.
If you weren’t intending to visit the site, 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.
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.
From the add-ons you said, I had an add-on that I can’t open anymore, and suddenly it opens and closes cmd.exe in a millisecond for no reason. I got suspicious of it and got to Task Manager and got to the Details tab.
As I headed down to find something suspicious, I found " vmmemCmZygote." I was unable to kill it or open the file location. I searched for instructions on how to stop vmmemCmZygote, but they did not work.
Is this affecting my add-on, making it malware? Avast can’t detect it, and it’s not excepted.
If this is an Add-on, surely if you ran your browser with add-ons disabled, should stop it running.
Did you try disabling that add-on from running in your browser/removing it from your browser ?
A google search on vmmemCmZygote vmmemCmZygote - Google Search returns many hits. But some are old and the one supposedly solved at Toms Hardware is locked so I couldn’t access the so called resolution. The page didn’t scroll down to see the resolution.
