Thanks, will do it in the evening

system · 2015-07-01T13:12:43.000Z

I think the problem is in Avast, because all logs are clean.

No one case like that has not been resolved, i am following the situation.

system · 2015-07-01T13:15:27.000Z

What antivirus do you recommend?

system · 2015-07-01T13:17:25.000Z

Wait a bit and see what is.

Is it happening only at Chrome?

system · 2015-07-01T23:23:43.000Z

No, it doesn’t matter which browser is started. It’s happening even if browser is closed

system · 2015-07-01T23:53:59.000Z

MBAR logs
Nothing was found

system · 2015-07-02T08:23:23.000Z

I feel this may be a false positive, hold on whilst I ask Avast to check this out, all reports is clean.

system · 2015-07-02T11:35:19.000Z

Ok, thanks
