Threat Secured

[mcovell58]

When I do a Google search in Chrome, I get a popup from Avast with the warning,
"Threat Secured: We've safely aborted connection on dorryhigh.com because it was infected with OTher:Malware-gen [TrJ]"

Is this an error of Avast's?  Or do I have a problem with my browser?

Rather depends on what you are searching for, but you don't say.
If it impacts on all/multiple search criteria, that could mean your searches are getting redirected.

Have you recently added a new browser extension or updated some ?

However, searches on that domain returns many hits about malware, etc.
So I rather doubt it is a problem with avast.

I actually was getting the same issue - I caught it trying to call out in the chrome dev tools window - caught the initiator to some JS code from my audio plugin that I had used before. Removed the extension.

If that's not it then it's most likely an extension calling out to it - you'll have to catch it in the dev tools and see which module it's being called from to try to determine which one it is.

Thanks, that fixed it for me!
