Threat detected for everything?

Skysarge · Sep 23, 2013

Avast is doing its task well. But what is going on? Every time I go browsing with AVG/Yahoo, or sign onto sundry sites I get the notice from AVAST that a threat has been detected and blocked. I am getting my money's worth. It would seem everything I want to access has a malicious attached to it.
I ran Avast boot scan, so anything it recognized was bid Sayanora. But is there a way to determine why or what keeps trying to get into my system?

Hmm myself and my partner had an issue with avast very recently too. It was flagging almost everything as being infected. Luckily, it didn't manage to quarantine these items and leave my machines unbootable. (!)

I don't know what had happened for this to occur but the result was I uninstalled avast from both machines and now we run with different AV. I should have posted at the avast forums but lack of time prevented me. I have always loved avast but this I couldn't put up with. Despite a fresh install, it still did the same. I ran all the scans on my machines and they were fine. Avast lied.

I am not saying it is wrong in your case, but we do need many more opinions than just avast so, I would advise you to run these procedures:
