Infection blocked when I visit youtube via Google Chrome
« on: November 24, 2014, 04:31:30 AM »
Just a day ago while I had many tabs open Avast alerted me that it blocked an infection.

URL:             https ://54.201.107.94
Infection:     URL:Mal
Process:      C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

I closed them all out. When I opened Google Chrome again and then went to Youtube, the same Avast alert popped up, saying the same thing. I tried visiting youtube on Firefox and nothing happened. Ran Malware Bytes and Avast, nothing popped up. Went back to youtube via Chrome, again, "infection blocked." What's going on?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello daniel01 and welcome to avast!. I will be working on your Malware issues. 

I do not see any loaded malware, logs looks clean to me. Google Chrome doesn't seems to be endangered.

Reset Google Chrome back to there defaults and that should fix the things...

Thanks for the help. I'll reset Chrome right now, but since the time I posted I got more "Avast blocked an infection," when I went to Hulu on Firefox, and later when I was at a web forum.

Probably because of a wrong IP qualification and this domain: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/dondominio.com?utm_source=addon&utm_content=popup
