Protip: Don't use anti-virus software.
this software is corrupted ...! I deleted Avast yrs ago .../!
Yep, pretty much this, haven't used anti-virus in some 10 years
Just don't open funky stuff you downloaded from some shady place
And if you have to open a file/ run software with questionable origins just use a sandbox/VM
Better get rid of Avast.
This may be a dumb question, but what’s the best way to get rid of it?
Would appreciate some guidance.
I certainly don't know. Sorry. Uninstall, maybe??
No worries...looked at it some more and figured out that you can add exceptions to allow the site to be viewed. I just added authentication.win and it's showing up now.
Not sure how the win sites were deemed phishing scams, though?
Thanks anyway.
Just submitted this. Fuck em.

anti virus is a scam
Just had this happen to me. Bunch of fucking cunts.
I got tired of all the BS with Windows especially Windows 10 and all the Edge crap..I always used AVAST free edition and never had a problem until about 6 months ago. I used BRAVE Browser and it worked pretty darn good. I just mainly got fed up with Windows and installed LINUX Mint 20.1 and have been happy ever since. I now use Fire Fox and it works great! BTW I'm retired Computer guy and always had to maintain PC's, Servers and all that stuff for 25 years with Windows O/S. Take my word and install LINUX Mint 20.1 you won't be sorry! You'll be Happy!
MalwareBytes and Junkware Removal Tool are both free.
I use MalwareBytes all the time. Never heard of Junkware Removal Tool!
Antivirus software is completely useless anymore. Most particularly if you paid for it, quit fucking paying for antivirus software
The Windows antivirus is perfectly fine as long as you're not a dumbass with what you download and open for documents.
Rules:
If someone emails you a document and you didn't request it nor were you expecting it and it has a subject or content that you're completely unaware of, or seems weird, it's probably bullshit. Don't download the attachments and open them.
If you download anything from a sketchy website then you better damn well know how to undo it if you're going to do it. Even then 99% of the time windows will stop you from doing it.
Because the cabal created the Great awakening and are actually tracking everyone that have accessed this site....??? Call me Crazy!
