I am now running in depth virus scans to see were the actual infection is. I tracked it to the no script addon, after removing it, the issue disappear regardless of proxy config settings.when I reinstall it, it appears again. However I noticed that both Chrome and IE were set to work on the same "use system proxy settings" and they weren't causing problems.so I assumed the problem still has to be with firefox.Īfter changing back the option in firefox to "use system proxy" I got again the notice, but saw that when opening firefox in safe mode the issue was gone again. Charlie, the browser plugins typically add additional features to the AV package, like filtering/blocking websites, etc.
#Avast blocking firefox popups full
I’ve been using AVG for years and always downloaded the full program which runs on its own. With this option modified, the pop up from avast didn't appear any longer when opening Firefox. I was not aware that Avast or any Antivirus Program was available as a Plug-In to Firefox. How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work?įrom Configure how firefox connects to the internet -> changed from "use system proxy settings" to "auto-detect proxy settings" or "no proxy".Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading.Where do I send issues that my antivirus program found?.Each time I start Firefox, an Avast pop-up tells me an infection has been blocked in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.firefox try to connect to website blocked by avast.P.S: If I re-install no script problem is back, as far as I can see I have an infection that is exploiting a vulnerability in this addon, which is designed exactly to increase reliability against attacks.
