Threat Detected on Youtube videos

[REDACTED]

Just today I have starting getting this message when opening videos (not on the home page) on Youtube while using Chrome: 

Avast Web Shield Has Blocked a harmful file or webpage


When I click for more details I get:

Infection Blocked

URL: http://yt.extensionstats.com/v?ms=1&id=nqsaop6qzrg&op=1&eid=dddfjkig&url=https%3A...

Infection: URL:Mal

Process: C:\Program Files(x86)Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe

This is odd for several reasons. I am on a new computer (1 week old) and haven't been on any fishy sites. This wasn't happening as recently as yesterday. I haven't installed any new extensions other than the ones that carried over from syncing my google account (these extensions are: awesome screenshot, adblock, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Rapportive, Read Later Fast, Image Search By Google, and Stylish) but again none of these were giving me problem recently.

I ran an Avast Scan (nothing found), MBAM (nothing found), and Adwcleaner (nothing found) + Chrome reset and still the issue. I'm not sure if this is a false positive but I wanted to run it by here to see if it is anything I should be concerned by.

I've got exactly the same matter since today, i am feeling like something not usual happened yesterday actually but can't remember what exactly, anyway this is happening when i open a youtube video received on my gmail account.

Anyone else?

I am getting the exact same thing. Started happening today out of absolutely NOWHERE. Literally was going through a playlist and in a matter of a few videos, these errors started coming up. Scanned my computer with MalwareBytes and SUPERAntiSpyware and both popped up with nothing. Really annoying, especially because it decides to speak out saying "Threat has been detected!" Why does it have to make noise like that? Also for when it updates, rahhh!

Either way, please fix this because I highly doubt I did something to make this happen. Maybe it's a commono extension extension like Adblock Plus or something that's causing it?

EDIT:

Weird.. I just disabled all of my extensions and then it stopped. Re-enabled them all, it pops up.. I wonder which one is problematic... Ugh...

DOUBLE EDIT:

FOUND IT! It appears to be ----- "Open SEO Stats(Formerly: PageRank Status)", one of my favorite extensions (I assume you both also have this extension installed?) wonder if it's a false-positive or if they are actually doing something fishy...

I too was getting this yt.extensions message today when I used Chrome .. I disabled the Extension Open SEO Stats(Formerly: PageRank Status) -- which stopped the notifications ...

[REDACTED]

I have also been getting the same error since yesterday while opening any youtube video. It is indeed very annoying because of the sound and talking voice

I managed to fix mine by trying to disable some of my extensions I had on chrome.
It worked when I disabled Quick Note. To do this, click the 3 lined menu button top right on chrome > More Tools > Extensions
and then Next to enabled, there's a check box. just untick that and you should be good to go.

I'm also with the same notification everytime I open a Youtube video. It started today!

I fixed my issue. I tested each extension and found the culprit, Read Later Fast by Diigo. I uninstalled it and reset my google sync so it does not reinstall on re-sync. Also uninstalled Awesome Screenshot by Diigo just to be safe and downloaded an alternative.

Same problem here for the last few days.
I can see a number of suggested solutions by users but It's not clear to me what is avast's final and official recommendation?
What do I have to do as a user?
Thanks.

This popup is still showing up, we disabled/removed the google chome plugin: Open SEO Stats(Formerly: PageRank Status) and the annoying popups on youtube stopped.

I have the exact same problem and would be grateful if someone could check my logs just in case.

Edit: Got it! Sorry!

So, I'm going to guess, Windows isn't real, and, on top of that, you have at least 75 more torrent files, if not more (And that's only from the last month). I will decline to pass your case on to a remover.[/u]

Add this to the list of not real Windows files you currently own -_-
