Same here with Yahoo.  Very annoying

Having same issue starting today on our desktop with Chrome and Windows 10.  Was also having it on our laptop with Firefox and Windows 10, but it went away somehow after a Restart and an Avast Virus Scan (which found nothing).  After we sent an e-mail from the desktop to the laptop, opening that e-mail caused the laptop to start getting those alerts incessantly.  All other e-mails still open normally.

Help, please.  Thanks.

I fixed it by adding *.amazon.com and  ecp.yusercontent.com to the exception list under settings since i know its not phishing scam.

I have been getting the above subject warning on most messages in my Yahoo e-mail account since maybe an hour ago.  This means that anything other than a plain text message is pretty much unreadable.  Is Avast truly detecting a virus?  Is there something I can do about this?  It just started this afternoon.  I have tried rebooting and still have the issue.  I am running a full virus scan right now, and I scanned with free Malwarebytes which found no issue.  Of course, if nothing has infected my PC, scans with any type of malware detector will come out clean.

If there's truly a problem with ecp.yusercontent.com, surely other people are having an issue, since a lot of people have Yahoo/att/sbcglobal/etc. e-mail accounts.  Help!

Yes I have the same problem and am running Windows 10

Agree, the problem is resolved .. But does anyone at Avast know who or what created the glitch ? ? ?

There is a lot of automation in the process today, as number of samples is way too high for a human to analyze each sample. On occasion there are issues that come up that miss the QA testing. Thankfully Avast has the "Streaming Updates" feature so the fixes are generally very fast to come out when an issue does occur.

Agreed.
This technology is definitely a saving asset in today's Avast Antivirus  :)

Can you share a screenshot of the error you are getting? Also can you confirm your Virus Database is up-to-date (Right Click the tray icon and choose update > Engine and Virus Deffinitions?
