Just today I began getting AVG aborting connections after being detected by Web Shield when I attempt to start Attack Boxes or Target Machines on TryHackme. This is the first time that this has happened in the more than 1 month that I have been on tryhackme.com cyber range.
It's coming up as
URL:Blacklist
TryHackMe | Cyber Security Training
Process: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
I have deleted my chrome cache and I have also entered this url in Virus Total and it comes up clean.
Is this a problem/error with the threat definitions / dictionary of AVG? What is the best way to resolve?
Hello Corey.
We'd certainly look into this.
Please make sure your AVG is up to date with latest virus definitions. Open AVG, click Menu -> Settings -> General -> Update and click Check for updates.
Then I would request you to load the website in a different web browser and check if AVG still blocks it.
Appreciate your efforts in working towards fixing the issue, Corey.
Please clarify whether you've restarted the computer after updating the virus definitions. If not, please restart your computer once & check.
If issue persists, please let us know the AVG version installed on your computer. (Open AVG - Menu - About).
Thank you Dinesh for your help! I will submit teh false positive report via the link.
Best Regards,
Corey
