Any news from avast on a temporary fix for this or when an update may initiate? I get this with every new term searched within google as well as anytime I visit my email..For whatever reason this is also happening in firefox so no luck between chrome or firefox on a temporary resolution.

Signed up just so I can post that I'm witnessing more or less the same thing. Very annoying! Any chance on a fast fix?

Hi everyone,
This was a false positive that was live for around 30 min. We just disabled it and pushed the fix through streaming updates.
You should stop getting the false alerts within few minutes.

This seems like a very obvious FP. Google & Google Play are safe sites, and there's no reported hacks or attacks going on against them. The affected url seems to be google play, which somehow seems to be twined to all other google services and ergo inescapable. I would prefer not to see this on nearly every google login page I'm on, the ringing sound is incredibly annoying.

Moreover, the Avast online security plugin is also claiming that the Google Play store is unsafe. I've used this AV for years and this kind of issue, especially with a major site like google, has never happened to me before.

I don't know what's going on, but it's bothering me, and I'm pretty sure it's a FP.

EDIT: thank you all for being so quick to try and correct the error, hopefully after the 30 min threshold it stays fixed

Yup it's either a false positive, or there is a mayor hack going against the playstore.

Hi everyone,
This was a false positive that was live for around 30 min, between 5:15am and 5:45am CET (GMT +1). We just disabled it and pushed the fix through streaming updates.

So our computers are getting spammed to annihilation we use gmail for work email and everytime someone uses it, it spams us with Malware notifications detected at https://play.google.com/ :o

EDIT: Also worth noting it's not just Avast Business, my home computers which run Avast Pro and Internet Security are also going crazy, a new notification every 60 seconds.

The funny part is that at the bottom of the page there's an ad "Avast recommends using
the FREE Chrome™ internet browser." haha.

I'm still getting this false positive whenever I google something. I'm relieved that I'm not the only one experiencing this, and that it doesn't seem like something I should be too concerned about. The popup is annoying however.

A fix would be much appreciated.

Same here. I was even getting it in Outlook when it pulled in my email from Gmail. Seems to be fixed now.
