Here is the detailed version of the alert that continuously pops up. I only put Malwarebytes on when AVG could not find any issues and yet continuously caused problems.
I have AVG free edition and for the past couple weeks I have been getting constant threat secured notifications that say the following.
Threat secured
We've safely aborted connection on s.viicasu.com because it was infected with URL:Scam
This is happening every few minutes on my computer even when im not doing anything, as long as I am connected to the internet. It is getting tothe point where I can barely use my computer due to the number of times it pops up. I have run an avg scan and a scan with malwarebytes but no issues have been found and it is incredibly frustrating.
Thanks
Thank you for providing the screenshot and the information, Michael.
May I confirm whether you know this s.viicasu.com URL that's mentioned in the screenshot? Do you trust it and is it legitimate?
Is this pop up comes randomly or while accessing any particular content?

Regarding your malwarbytes, if you are using anti-virus products on your computer in addition to AVG Antivirus and experience issues with malware detection or system performance, we strongly recommend uninstalling the conflicting product. It is generally not recommended to use more than one security solution on a single system. They compete for resources, which may result in slowdowns, crashes, or no protection at all.
Awaiting your response.

Hello Lathika,
I have no idea what s.viicasu.com is and this pop up seems to happen at random and even when I am not on the computer. I opened my computer first thing this morning and had 34 notifications that had piled up while my computer was in sleep mode on my desk.
Thanks
