I keep getting notifications from Avast telling me that it has blocked a harmful website. This has happened at least 4 times and the only other tab I had open was Youtube. It just recently happened with only Bungie.net open, so I can't help but think that this site is causing it. Does this happen to anyone else?

By the way, I did a full system scan using Avast and Malwarebytes and neither found any infected files. Could I be mistaken or is this site causing this?

I, too, use Avast (though I probably shouldn't since it isn't very good on Windows 7).

I have never received a warning from Bungie.net.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Do you have coup or any other GM scripts turned on? That's usually the case.

Can you add an exception for bungie.net in the settings?

No, I use the default Bungie.net without scripts.

I haven't had any problems with Bungie.net/Avast.

I'd go ahead and just run a full scan on the entire system and see if there's something else hidden.

Like I said, after I got a few of these notifications, I ran a full scan on Avast and Malwarebytes and both turned up with 0 threats found.

Sorry, missed that part.

Did you do the standard full scan or the custom one, with the sensitivity settings for everything set to max? I've noticed the default full scan will miss a few things the custom one will not.

Do you have any kind of extensions? Gmail checker, other stuff, etc.?

This actually used to happen to me a bit with Kaspersky, but it'd only happen when I'd go onto a thread that would contain a shock link.
