The problem has nothing to do with adware, and there is no reason to download anything. Should i stop running AVAST or is this a real threat? How can i deal with it? I cannot find anything on the internet with this URL. nl BUT it always ends in /auupdate and always has the same PROCESS listed The URL differs each time and appears to be a random and sometimes long list of characters ending with either.in or. I have run a full AVAST scan and it does not detect a virus on my Macbook.
sometimes it pops up ten times in a row with different URL that it is supposedly blocking. it started several weeks ago and now pops up everytime i am on the internet. I need help to find the cause and/or stop a virus message that keeps popping up in AVAST Mac Security application. I also can find no one who can help me here locally with Mac support. I haven’t been able to upgrade the OS X for two years, as I am living in india and do not have bandwidth for large downloads. We are preparing a patch that we will provide to the small number of users affected as soon as possible.I have Macbook Pro running OS X 10.7.2. We have identified that the problem is caused by an update issue of the dynamic link library (dll), which is part of the WebShield feature. UPDATE : An Avast spokesperson told Bleeping Computer the following: Barely two weeks ago, the Webroot antivirus flagged core Windows OS files as malicious and started moving a few to quarantine, effectively trashing customers' computers.īy this point in time, almost every major antivirus maker has faced with these types of snafus. This is not the first time an antivirus goes bonkers. That did the trick."Īn Avast spokesperson did not respond to Bleeping Computer's request for comment, so we can't know for sure how much of Avast's userbase is affected. It didn't help," an Avast user wrote on their forum. Later, Avast team members started recommending the same thing. While users could still connect to the Internet after they temporarily disabling the Avast antivirus, some users reported fixing the issue for good by uninstalling the antivirus and performing a clean install. Many of these complaining users reported they were using Avast's free antivirus version. Hours after the update, users started complaining about the problem, flocking to the company's support forum. The issue seems to have been caused by an update Avast released late Wednesday night. An update to the Avast antivirus has blocked users' ability to access the Internet, most customers needing to disable the antivirus in order to be able to get online (and complain to Avast).
