The update's even completely fried up the file scanner.
I'm watching the files as it's going through and it's flagging files I've had for years and that have been through multiple scans from multiple programs, including Avast.
I don't go to suspicious sites. I don't use torrents. I haven't downloaded any new programs and had zero problems until today's update. Actually, today's update finished while I was reading my Windstream email. After being able to read a couple of messages, Avast cut the site off.
It's also cut off Google books, but no other Google sites that I can tell. Really, really weird.
I was finally able to connect to the server and download another update, but it's still affecting sites it shouldn't be affecting. I don't think that many of my usual sites have suddenly been hacked.
