Title: False positive or something else?
Post by: REDACTED on August 08, 2015, 10:10:46 PM

Hello,

Every time I open my Yahoo Mail the notification that I attached appears. Is this a false positive or a genuine threat?
Both my Chrome and Avast are up to date.

So it's just a false positive?
I don't understand why this started appearing all of a sudden. I've been using Avast for a long time but I haven't had this kind of problem before, not to mention with Yahoo Mail.
