[Avast antivirus on Mac - driving me nuts]

Thanks 1PW

I can't (won't) update my Mac OS (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) as I am running software that I prefer to keep as it is. Avast version is 12.9. The virus definitions are up to date.

Did the full system scan and there were no errors.

I am still getting malicious URL alerts on a lot of sites.

Thanks for the Mozilla security scan link - do I get my web developer to address the points it raises?

Thanks, that's me on bleepingcomputer too - doubling up. I should say that Avast acts very differently on PC with Firefox compared with Mac and Chrome.

On my laptop when I access my website and others that are identified as being malicious URLs on the Mac's Avast Web Shield, nothing happens. So is it a Mac/Chrome problem?

How do I find out the malware names - is it in the Web Shield log?Apologies, I use the software but not at an advanced level.

 Just so you know, I also use AdBlock and NoScript on the Mac Chrome browser along with Ghostery.

I've got Avast Antivirus installed on my Mac Pro and it is driving me nuts. When I'm browsing using Chrome it keeps alerting me to malicious URLs on websites that should be safe - including my own website!

How can I address this? Can anybody help here - is it a malware infection or something similar?
