Hello all, I booted my computer up normally last night as any other time, first thing I did was open Google Chrome to go on YouTube and Avast popped up with "We've safely aborted connection on www. google. com because it was infected with URL:CardStealer". This was the first time this has ever happened (on google of all places as well??) and after digging around the internet for answers it seems like it's not a common thing as I couldn't find any piece of relevant information. The only thing that came up was a new variant of Emotet but I don't think I could've possibly been infected as I don't open any emails on this pc or visit any out of the ordinary websites. Ran a full scan on the pc, nothing came up, no weird processes or anything like that, any ideas what happened or what I should do?

I should've checked more thoroughly, but after not finding anything last night I thought no one else had the problem. My bad, sorry!
