[Old Fart At Play]

Whenever I come to this forum, I get a popup like this:

I dont get it on any other sites.

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Cheers

I'm getting the same warning from Avast! Only on THBF.

I am using Avast One and haven't seen that message using Chrome.

I tried Edge and am still not seeing it.

 

[ChrisT]

I've just updated my virus definitions and no longer getting the warning!

Getting nothing with Mac

I tried Edge and Brave just now, didn't get any warning in those, so went back to Firefox (the browser I was originally using) and this time Avast didn't pop up.
Maybe like ChrisT my definitions just updated and that sorted it.

Thanks for letting us know.

Another reason not to use the bloatware that is Avast. I abandoned it some years ago.

I use Duck-Duck-Go and Opera browsers with Avast and don't get warnings...

As its been shown in the thread it was a small lag in an update that caused the warning Avast One was still protecting the system.
I changed to thr new Avast One free a while ago as I think it's the best free AV at the moment, how can you slate something you haven't used in years?

+1 for Avast free and easy
each to their own I suppose
