December 2, 20241 yr It’s probably not something on Avsim itself but a malicious web page being served by one of the embedded advertisers.

December 10, 20241 yr Administrators Key points about false Avast alerts: Common causes: Outdated virus definitions: If Avast's virus database is not updated, it might misidentify new, safe files as malicious. Heuristic detection: Sometimes, Avast might flag files based on suspicious behavior patterns that could be interpreted as malicious even if the file is safe. Compatibility issues: Certain programs or file types might trigger false positives due to how Avast interacts with them. Incorrect configuration: Improper settings on your Avast antivirus could lead to excessive detection of harmless files.
