URL:Golpe do Avast abortando conexão

The URL:Scam detection serves as a blanket label employed by Avast/AVG antivirus software to identify network threats. While being a benign detection employed by legitimate security tools, it can falsely detect a safe web page.

Users commonly encounter the “URL:Scam” warning after opening a certain website. It normally refers to a website that security analysts mark as unsafe. This does not mean a direct and immediate threat to the user but rather acts as a warning.

URL:Scam Overview

There are quite a few reasons for the website to lead to the URL:Scam detection. I’ve gathered the most often ones below:

• Malware Distribution. Clicking on links triggering URL:Scam warnings can result in downloading and installing malicious software, such as malware, onto your computer. Malware can lead to substantial harm, including data theft, system instability, and even financial loss.
• Privacy Concerns. URL:Scam warnings are often linked to adware-type applications that collect user browsing data and personal information. This data can be shared with third parties for profit, potentially resulting in privacy breaches, identity theft, and unwanted targeted advertising.
• Invasive Advertisements. Websites flagged with URL:Scam warnings can offer you to display pop-up notifications. This is just an excuse to start spamming the user with dozens of ads. They flood both the in-browser notifications and ones in the Windows system tray.

Is URL:Scam a False Positive?

As I said, despite originating from benign antivirus engines, URL Scam detection may appear on legit websites. This may happen for several reasons, mainly due to the part of the site’s contents that the engine considered dangerous or a false record in the detection database. Às vezes, antivirus blocks the website because it has the said issues in the past, but does not have ones at the moment.

If you are sure that the website is safe and legitimate, the only way to make it work is to disable the network scanning feature in the program. I do not recommend doing this though when the site is not familiar to you.

To see whether the site is really dangerous or not, you can use a free online URL scanner by GridinSoft. It will reveal whether the site is worth trusting in less than a minute – just paste the link and wait for the result.

How to Remove URL:Scam?

If the URL:Scam message keeps appearing no matter what sites you visit, the issue may be not in the antivirus, but in the software installed in the system.

How to Reset Browser Settings?

When the browsers are reset, you need to ensure that your browser will connect the right DNS while connecting to the web page you need. Create a text file titled “hosts” on your PC’s desktop, then open it and fill it with the following lines¹:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Adicionalmente, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
