Avast Free Antvirus Version 22.2.6003
Firefox 98.0.1
What Happened:
At 10:45am Pacific (and using the latest version of Firefox), I opened an email survey link from a legit company that I am a member of..
A pop-up was displayed 'Avast Blocking Prefs.js File.' I attempted to open the link two more times and the tab opened but the survey page would not open-Three copies of this file were placed in the 'Quarantine' section, showing the same time.
I was about to sign into the Avast forum when another pop-up was displayed 'Avast Has Safely Aborted 'VBS.Gamaredon-CM(Apt).'
I ran a smart scan and a full scan (but no issues were detected) so the computer was restarted and there have not been any further issues.
Next Steps:
-What are the next steps, does a setting need to be changed, and can the three copies of the Quarantine file be deleted)?
