I keep getting the identical "threat detected warning"
« on: October 28, 2014, 06:39:19 PM »
This is the URL: hxxp://54.191.159.30/trinity.js?key_maker={%221131607300%22:%221010459795e3ea206a0c%22,%221131607728%

Can I tell Avast to not alert me each time it blocks a threat?

Thanks.

This forum isn't working right because the page froze and it appeared my post hadn't been posted. So I kept trying.... My software says everything is just fine and dandy.

When Avast says it BLOCKS something, that means that thing has NOT gotten into your computer. So I am not infected. Maybe it's my Firefox, which isn't totally behaving properly. For example, it won't let me delete the address history in the address bar no matter how many times I follow the instructions to the letter.  Anyway, the  URL that's bugging me is hxxp://54.191.159.30/trinity.js?key_maker={%221131607300%22:%221010459795e3ea206a0c%22,%221131607728%. Over and over again. Can't something be done to stop it from attacking my machine or from the notification bothering me?

Pondus,

I wanted to respond but something happened here, and I couldn't. Why do you say something is wrong when the software is blocking things as it should?

Malwarebytes (paid version) says everything is fine. Avast Internet Security says everything is fine.

My computer is NOT infected. I just want to stop the desktop notifications.

no security program have 100% detection ...... if they did there would not be a internet virus problem

yes avast is blocking a bad URL ... most likely you have something that try to connect to that URL and avast/malwarebytes does not detect that

info on IP in your case
https://www.virustotal.com/nb/ip-address/54.191.159.30/information/

one URL on that IP
https://www.virustotal.com/nb/domain/www.6wv9pkfqg.com/information/

another one
https://www.virustotal.com/nb/domain/www.0vin60f6.com/information/

Pondus,

I went to those links, but unfortunately I have no idea what it all means.

Para-Noid,

What am I supposed to do on that board? It's a forum. What am I supposed to post? I am totally confused. who is going to check my computer if I post and what should I post? Maybe I should just contact Avast. I have their total support package. I just thought posting here might be useful before I contact them.

Hi bgranat,

I can understand your frustration and annoyance at the repeated block notifications.  However, avast! is doing it's job.  Notifications such as these are rarely false positive.  Or, would you rather have avast! not detect the threat?  Just saying.

The pop-ups have stopped. I have Avast Total Support. Maybe I should call them, because I don't know where or how to "get help" here. Who are the people giving help? How do I know they know their stuff?
 Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm pleased that Avast is doing its job, but I didn't know that the popup meant there was something BAD on my computer. That's what you all are saying is the case, right?
