Avast Warning : Malicious URL Blocked

[maRED]

Avast keeps giving me this warning when using Chrome. Attached is a screenshot of the warning that appears.

I have been trying alot of things lately and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi maRED,

please go Here and attach OTL, Malwarebytes & aswMBR.

It appears, you are using an outdated version of Avast!. Can you tell me your current version (Program). THanks

[maRED]

yeah it was outdated and I updated it, still the same tho.

[Michael (alan1998)]

Can you attach the logs I've requested?

[maRED]

of course, I am on it and once I am done I will post them.

[maRED]

Here they are.
