![]() I've encountered a similar problem with other antivirus software. If you are not sure about the existence of such malwares in your system there are plenty of ways to sweep them off using a good anti-malware with an updated anti-virus software. Now all you have to do is just to confirm whether the detected Updater.exe is harmful and carry on with the removal process(I found Remove URL:Mal and Removal Mal articles that gives a walk through on the removal of URL:Mal infectors). Then there will be a lot of stuff will happen to your browser (like unknown add-ons, tool bars, unwanted ads,etc.,) and your AV will detect even the normal websites you visit as harmful once your browser is infected. ![]() It is important to pay attention to this issue or else your web browser might get affected. If one of the software that you installed is trying to access a malicious website or vicious URL then the AV comes into action by detecting it as a kind of virus infection. If a Trojan program is installed in your system, then it is no longer called "your system" in the security circle.īy reading through the link you have given in your question, i see that URL:Mal could be the culprit that is trying to harm your system. ![]() Main problem with the updaters : They can download files in your computer and install automatically without your permission if you have left the Update automatically option during the installation of the software. However, try to recognize to which software that the Updater.exe belongs and remove it if it is harmful or unknown. It is definitely for your long term good. I hope you may solve this problem soon.First, Do not turn off your AV protection just for the sake of not getting the alerts. Sorry for mispellings, I'm not a native English speaker. As I said at the top of the topic, I've enabled the Silent Mode, but I don't think that this may solve the problem. Well, after 12:47 it triggered once at 1:03 AM, so 16 minutes after the last pop-up. It triggered every 10 minutes from 11:56 PM when I booted up the laptop to 12:16 AM, and from 12:27 AM to 12:47 AM. ![]() In my case, I use the Romanian language version of Avast Antivirus, but you can understand well the problem when looking to screnshots.Īlso, I want to mention that the notifications trigger every 10 minutes since I boot up my system. Also, I've scanned the C drive with Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, but it didn't find anything.Īnd finally, I decided to find if the IP adress is a real threat, but all the sites that I've used in order to know if this IP is a malware or something like that didn't provide any info related to the link/IP that is being blocked continuously by the antivirus. Then, I decided to do a System Restore, because I thought that may solve the problem if I restore my system to a restore point when this notification didn't exist (about a week), but no results.Īfter that, I decided to scan my device, first time I've run the Intelligent Scan, then I scanned the whole C drive, but no virus found. Then, I decided to uninstall all my browsers, but it poped-up again after few minutes with the process path at "C\Windows\System32\svchost.exe", as shown on second screenshot. Later, I tried to run Brave, then Opera, and the notification about the same blacklisted URL was shown up after a couple of minutes, with the process path on the installation path of the browsers that I used at the moment. Looking deeper in the notifications, I found at the moment that the process path was on the C drive, where my browser installation path(Firefox in my case here) that I used at the time is shown. Apparently, nothing suspicious was found. Since I didn't access in these days some kind of "dangerous" sites, this notification is very annoying for me, even though I put all my notifications on Silent Mode.įirst of all, I wanted to find out what was the trouble, so I searched everywhere in the task manager or task scheduler to find out if a virus script is enabled and triggers my antivirus on a certain time. From 3-4 days I've noticed that a pop-up message shows very often, saying that a blacklisted URL threat has been blocked.
