All of a sudden I have started getting these avast alerts.

I am going to hazard a guess, this is chrome making DNS queries over https.
I am getting numerous alerts every minute.
Due to lack of context and information about this supposed threat, I have assumed a false positive and allowed these requests just to stop the avast spam.
