Hello,
I recently received a threat alert from Avast, and I'm not sure what it means or how to resolve it. Here's the message I got:
Threat Resolved
We have safely aborted connection on dns://sportjump.ru because it was infected with URL
.
We can also protect you from other types of threats.
Update Your Protection
Name of the threat: URL
URL: dns://sportjump.ru
Process: C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe
Detected by: Web Shield
Status: DNS aborted
I'm not familiar with what a "URL
" is or how it affects my system. Could someone explain what this threat means and what steps I should take to ensure my computer is safe?
Thank you!
