Hello

This morning when I opened Chrome, my antivirus displayed the message

below:

I did a complete scan with AVG antivirus and nothing was detected.

But every time I connect to Chrome, it comes back?

Can someone help me?

Thank you very much

I am using Windows 11

Have a good day

    Hello,

    It's not software but an Internet address, which is likely to capture data, for example, not to download malware through the operation of the Pure Spirit.

    The situation is particularly documented for the use of a number of extensions (FreeVPN.One) that connect to this famous URL to capture and "analyze" user data, including screenshots: charming...

    The so-called better is the enemy of good, we don't need AVG or any third-party security software that whines at every Internet address, it's not an antivirus function but an analysis of the sites in question, everyone is supposed to know where they connect, it's unbearable.

    Even worse if a pseudo security or "privacy" extension is involved, proof?

    Hello and thank you for your quick response

    In your opinion, what can be done to avoid this detection every time you connect?

    Best regards

      Remove AVG to leave Windows Defender unless there is a major personal contraindication.

      The security center also has a number of options through app and browser control that check whether a certain website is acceptable or not, which I consider perfectly useless; there’s an added layer for Edge with Smart Screen.

      Also remove any unwanted browser extensions, undesired startup page, and fake VPNs if there are any.

    Hello and thank you

    I uninstalled the free VPN from Chrome

    I then cleaned my computer.

    And everything is back to normal.

    If this can help on the forum

    A big thank you for your help.

    Have a nice day

    Best regards
