Hello,
For some odd reason, every time I visit the fixya help forum to look up something, I get spammed with these threat blocked alerts. When I look at the threat file path it mainly shows chrome.exe and the url being something like i.fixya/images/logos/logo.jpg. etc. This is a video of what is happening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ2JBo8iZus Being an AVG user for years, I have never seen something like this happen. It usually shows it once and never shows it again. The only way I could stop the alerts is disabling the web shield and then re-enabling it. I think this is most likely a false positive not to mention it's going as far as calling their logo a "phishing attempt". If anyone could help me resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! ![]()

It happens whenever I visit fixya.com and if I close it out another pops up. The only way to stop it is to restart web shield.
Thank you for the screenshot.
Yes, we realize that you have posted a video link, but we will not be able to view it due to security reasons.
Hence, requested you to provide the screenshot here.
May I know when this threat detection appears?
Is it while visiting a particular website or for any site that you visit?
And I have 18.5.3059
I have posted a false positive and will add an exception. Thanks for the help ![]()
