Thank you for sharing the screenshots, Miguel.
May I know at what instance you are getting this threat notification?
Is it while browsing in any particular browser or accessing any application?

My AVG Internet Security software reported yesterday four simultaneous "Threat blocked" messages for websites infected with URL:Scam. Two of the threats apparently occurred on a connection attempt to devaluationlimetreedeadly.com and the other 2 on a blocked connection to telephoneinclination.com.

I did not try to access any of these websites. Does this point to a virus infection that I'm not aware of, which is trying to download something from these websites in the background? The AVG full scan yesterday did not find any.

Does anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks

HI Sreenu,
As I mentioned in my original post:

I did not try to access any of these websites. Does this point to a virus infection that I'm not aware of, which is trying to download something from these websites in the background? The AVG full scan yesterday did not find any.
The websites that caused the AVG 'Blocked threat' notification are:
 
devaluationlimetreedeadly.com
telephoneinclination.com

I don't know anything about these websites; never have used them. I'm assuming they are not secure as they cause this action by AVG. As I mentioned in my latest reply, I searched to find out what the first one was and that triggered a few AVG Block Threat notifications.

With regards to the kind of activity I was doing when the initial AVG notifications occurred, I did not become aware of the 'blocks' until later. So I'm not sure what particular websites I was accessing at that moment (definitely not the ones that caused the problem). While I have also Chrome and Edge, I normally use Firefox, so most probably I was also using Firefox at the time of the problem.

My main concern is: Why is AVG reporting problems with websites that I am NOT using. Is there any virus inside my computer that is maliciously trying to access them? Just before posting this reply I did another full scan of my computer and AVG found no threats or viruses.

Hope this adds some of the information you requested.

Kind regards
Miguel
