Hi,
I've been having the same problem. I've removed the bad chrome extensions but these pop-ups keep happening.
Mac OS Version 10.10.5 (14F2511) (Yosemite)
AVG version 18.2
I am getting the same thing as the others
Parrish, please provide the screenshot of the threat detection message to assist further.
Me too:
Thank you for waiting, Parrish.
The link you have provided is related to screenshot. Could you share the SHA-256 hash of the file
(e.g. e49a831834f8c89929ff6a2e019219d3d53514df0631894caff78fdcd08959da)?
Else, submit your request under the below link: http://www.avg.com/submit-sample for further assistance.
I'm also waiting for a solution on this case, Have been waiting for few weeks already, I will have to move to another Software if this doesn't get solved, it's so annoying to get these Spygot warning every 2 minutes!!!
Hi Alok, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, your solution didn't work for me. Hopefully, someone else will come out with a different one. Still waiting to fix the issue, and thinking to uninstall AVG (other well-known software do not behave in such an absurd way in respect of this supposed "threat"), Thanks
Kenneth, remove spigot or any suspicious extensions from chrome.
Check the below mentioned locations on your Mac and remove all files containing spigot name:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
~/Library/Application Support
~/Library/Caches
Hello Fan,
The issue should be fix by deleting the file ".com.google.Chrome" from the location manually. May I know if you have deleted the file from your computer and still receiving the same detection pop up?
If yes, then please share a screenshot of the AVG detection with see details page and we will check if the file is in a different location.
You can post the screenshot here on your topic. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.
Regards,
Alok.
I've been having similar issues.
Mac OS: 10.13.4 (17E202)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012); 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7; 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
location: "/Users/~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/.com.google.Chrome.ppTXsF"
the suffix on the ".com.google.Chrome.xxxxxx" has been different each time.
virus name: "MacOS:Spigot-AY [PUP]"
Mark,
We will have a look at it. Could you share the screenshot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201361 of that detection message?
Provide us your MAC OS version http://https//support.apple.com/en-us/HT201260 and
AVG version.
To find out the version you can follow user manual, part 4.3. Menu in the task bar
http://files-download.avg.com/doc/AVG_AntiVirus_for_Mac/avg_avm_uma_en_ltst_03.pdf
As full path of detection is not fully visible from UI very often, please provide us with the full path. You can copy the path by right clicking on the detection path and paste it here.
I had two instances of invisible files named "com.google.Chrome" on my iMac (running macOS 10.03.6). They were both in ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/ – one in the Actives folder and one in Reports. I manually deleted both of them and, before quitting Chrome, checked my extensions and, to my surprise, found Spigot. It had been disabled, but I deleted it. Then I restarted Chrome. I got the same alert as before, about MacOS:Spigot-AY [PUP] – and also found the two "com.google.Chrome" files had been restored. Any further advice on how to get rid of this pesky thing?
Hi Guys,
I understand this must be upsetting. Please upload the detected file to https://goo.gl/1Lahr2 and send us the URL or file hash, so I can pass it to our virus lab
This window keeps popping up every two minutes. I ran a scan and got rid of some threats but it continues to show. Please advise on how to make the following stop.
MacOS:Spigot-AY [PUP]

Hello All,
We have received a reply from our senior team and they have informed that the detection is correct. The file ".com.google.Chrome" is reported as threat.
You can go to the file ".com.google.Chrome" location manually and delete it.
Regards,
Alok.
