netspooke3.biz => Threat stopped by Avast, but the message continues to appear

[Chiara33]

Dear all,

While using Chrome, my Avast Premium warns me that "the connection on netspooke3.biz has been stopped since it's on a blacklist".
I immediatelly scanned the entire PC (complete scan), but Avast could not find any issue
However, the pop-up continues to appear, randomly around twice every hour, even if I open Chrome with only the Google homepage displayed...
Last time happened few seconds ago, while writing on this forum...

- I tried to disable all the Chrome extensions, but the problem is still there
- My avast is updated

Does any of you have a similar problem / possible solution(s)?
I fear my PC has been infected, but I don't understand why Avast cannot find the Virus and erase it from my hard disk.

Many thanks for your support.

Probably because you dont have a virus, but you have something trying to connect to a blacklisted URL ..... It can also be a avast False Positive


Have you tried to clear your browser surf history?
Have you tried to run Malwarebytes AdwCleaner? (not the same as Malwarebytes Antimalware)

Still problems? see instructions  >>  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=194892.0
