Avast Mac Security / Unable to remove threat

« Last post by ana_mc05 on April 24, 2024, 06:37:22 AM »

Hi everyone,

I ran a scan on my Mac and found originally one threat, but running a second scan, a second one showed up: MacOS:Adload-CS (Trj) with the infected file being XProtect.yara.I read this was an issue with MacOS in 2021 and have kept my software updated

The problem is that when I click to solve the threat, Avast is unable to remove it. I am out of options on what to do, so are there any options that anyone knows?

Thanks in advance!

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security (legacy Pro Antivirus, Internet Security, Premier) / Re: Avast Web Shield unusable on video sharing sites

You mean this?  hXXps://yt5s.com/en173

Almost all websites blocked here are .xyz and usually Avast blocks videos found on YouTube with this top level domain.

Please provide an example of an active block by Avast by attaching a screenshot in your next reply.

Not running Avast WebShield will defeat the purpose of having it, protecting you from malicious websites and downloaded script.

I'm on Windows 11 and have no delay or problems opening Edge.
I have both the latest version and the beta version on my system and there is no delay in either version.

First of all I don't use MS Edge, I don't particularly like chromium based browsers (including Google Chrome) so I can't speak from personal experience.

In all honesty you should start your own new topic as much will have changed in almost a year since the last post not just in Avast but also in Edge (a Chromium based browser).

That said - Personally I wonder why many are choosing the Ask mode in the Firewall, popular, common programs aren't going to suffer.  The idea of Smart Mode is to remove much of the hassle/interrogation by the firewall whilst still protecting the system. 

Don't loose sight of the fact that there other shields protecting your system, the File System Shield, Web Shield and also the Network Shield.  These should limit and connections made by the system (etc.) both outbound and inbound.

I also don't understand why Edge is getting hit as even in Ask Mode for Edge "Ask me to allow or block Internet connection for new Apps", it isn't a new App as such, unless it is changing so frequently as to require that interrogation. 

I just wonder if you haven't also got a restriction on Edge in the Network Shield ?

I am also experiencing the same issue of 2 different PCs. When the firewall is set to "Ask", edge is somewhat blocked bu only for 1 or 2 minutes.

I don't use Avast One so can't provide one.  Again a google search for Avast One FAQ will surely give that information.
