Title: Avast detecting my Xbox One as an Exploit Kit? wtf?
Post by: Tyler129 on March 10, 2020, 08:02:36 PM

For whatever reason Avast keeps spamming me with notifications that "We've safely aborted connection on (local ip) because it was infected with URL:ExploitKit" The IP is always the same IP and it is my Xbox One.

Why would Avast detect this as malware? I'm so confused.

seem like a false positive

but if in doubt do a scan of malwarebytes and kaspersky

malwarebytes

https://br.malwarebytes.com/

kaspersky

https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/thank-you/free-virus-removal-tool

if not solve

could be a mistake

do a clean install

Uninstall avast

https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/10/

install avast

https://www.avast.com/en-us/installation-files

if not solve

put IP in the exception

you've already done a clean install?

you did a recent system restore?

which system operational?

which version of avast?

what security system do you have besides avast ?

note: sometimes system restoration causes this.
when avast self-defense is active

menu/configuration/Problems solution. enable self-defense

Possible false detections should be reported to avast lab, they will then remove detection if false
