Hi everyone.

I was wondering if you could help me. I was just doing some work when I received a ‘Threat secured’ notification pop up from Avast.

“We’ve safely aborted connection on 2.au.download.windowsupdate.com because it was infected with URL:Blacklist”. The process that was attempting to connect was C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe.

To me, this appears to be a false positive, but I can’t be sure. Am I missing something?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks.
