URL:Phishing on every webpage I open

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

As of this morning, whenever I open any webpage I am met with an Avast Web Shield alert of the following:

We’ve blocked a threat URL:Phishing on https://ipfs.io/api/v0/name/resolve/[web domain]

I even got one for this forum URL:Phishing on https://ipfs.io/api/v0/name/resolve/forum.avast.com

I am an avid web3 user but have I been compromised somehow?

The seme for me (on Brave Browser).

Start by clearing your browser cache, cookies, etc.

Next when did this start, e.g. after updating/adding a new browser add extension, add-on ?
If so that could be what is reaching out to sites you aren’t trying to connect to and is this always to the same site being blocked ?

Try running your browser without add-ons/extensions, does the behaviour/avast alerts stop ?

I get

{“Message”:“invalid IPNS root: ""”,“Code”:0,“Type”:“error”}
there.

This is part of an Ubuntu-linux bug report not an answer.

So ipfs get: tar has invalid root when a filename contains double dot
