Today i had 2 virus alerts from safe sites. One was xchat.cz and second on google.cz What happens? Cant belive this is real virus. Thanks

UPDATE: Not only those sites! Also if i run FULL SCAN, thousands of files are detected as virus! Can u imagine what happen if some user delete those files and no more boot up PC? This is unacceptable! Thank you avast. This is not first time i see that huge mistake in your products.

UPDATE 2: Thanks for fix, everything is ok now.

OMG, if i run full scan, thousands of infected items. This is real?

[REDACTED]

I got random virus alerts from twitch.tv or other random well know website like neogaf forum.

[TheOwner]

Try do full scan, you wil lbe surprised how avast detect all your files in computer as virus.

[REDACTED]

I'm getting the same VBS alert as well. It just started around 2 hours ago when I got on my computer.

[REDACTED]

No biggy, everyone using avast right now may have random report, using their browser. May be fix later today, i guess.

Avast lose customers due this. Too much bsods, too much false positives. This is not first time....

[REDACTED]

I'm also getting this exact problem on random websites I go to, roughly every five minutes. I scanned my computer with avast, roguekiller, malwarebytes and several others and none found anything either.

[REDACTED]

if i run FULL SCAN, thousands of files are detected as virus!

I'm on a Mac and today I am getting a similar result - 500+ "VBS:Malware-gen" identifications and the deep scan is only 50% done.

Sounds like this is some kind of erroneous detection going on today.

Amazon Cart for me brings a stupid report...........


 

Glad I'm not the only one.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Ran into it via Opera. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Omg same here, i thought it was a virus coz i was upgrading some drivers..I wasted 3 hours trying to undestand if it was really a virus or just a bug of avast

[REDACTED]

I am getting the same thing. It's been driving me nuts and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome. Looks like it's an Avast issue, hope it gets fixed soon.

[REDACTED]

Getting Malware blocked pop-ups for Twitch. Ran varies scans except Avast's after reading the 1000's of flagged item reports. Something is flagged incorrectly in these definitions.

This is a colossal stuff up that is effecting everyone with Avast Antivirus what is going on???

Come on Avast I've been recommending you since 2006 Vista days don't make me look bad.
