Title: URL MAL explorer.exe
Post by: REDACTED on September 21, 2015, 02:47:27 PM
Hello,

from yesterday I have a lot of notifications/popup from Avast which tell that Avast has blocked explorer.exe to a strange random URL. Worse than this Windows Explorer doesn't work well and blocks from time to time so I'm not able to work properly with. Tried to do a scan with Avast and it found some PUP that I have eliminated but this hasn't solved the issue.

I am very worried that this can be malware, so any help from you would be very appreciated.

Best regards. R Pane
