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?

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 ?
