Avast detects URL Blacklist malware when I start Firefox
« on: August 17, 2024, 04:01:48 PM »
Avast Free Antivirus has started to give warnings as soon as I open Firefox. Started about a week ago.

Both Firefox and Avast are regularly and automatically updated. I still use Win7.
What should I do?

Here is a screenshot:

Try disabling Firefox add-on's/extensions and see if that helps.
If it does, you can check add-on's/extensions are those you expect to see. Then enable one-by-one and test by process of elimination.
