Avast malicious connection blocked
« on: February 28, 2020, 07:12:20 PM »
Every time i open  opera browser or google chrome  avast   blocks a connection to this site " psozyhotho.pro" saying it was infected with "URL:Blacklist".
This  happens only when a browser is open, and  has nothing to do with my research. Usually i  go only youtube, amazon, facebook and checking my email, no sketchy sites or downloading  untrusted  files, this started to happen  till 26-02-2020 and never happened before. I scan my computer  for viruses and malwares  1 time a week and  i use avast malwarebytes and  windows defender,  i also did boot scans and no one of them  found an infection, i also tried hitman pro and eset online scan and even them didnt find an infection.

Try clear your browsers surf history?

You may also run Malwarebytes AdwCleaner   https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

its says "service worker   and i can tick a box that says  open DevTools windows and pause javascript execution on Service Worker startup for debugging" and nothing else, there is no "Unregister for all entries" like you said.

Because FRST logs are clean and I want to know if Avast shows same notifications on other PCs in you network.
