URL:Scam es una alerta de protección web de Avast/AVG para una página que parece fraudulenta, engañosa o insegura. Puede deberse al sitio, a una redirección publicitaria, a un enlace malicioso o a adware en el navegador.
Qué significa URL:Scam
URL:Scam is a web-level detection. It does not always mean that your Windows system is infected. It means the antivirus blocked a page or redirect before the browser could load it safely.
Por qué aparece
- The site is impersonating a brand, shop, exchange, support page, or login form.
- A legitimate site is showing a malicious ad or redirect.
- A browser extension or notification permission keeps opening scam pages.
- Malware or adware is injecting redirects into browsing sessions.
Qué hacer
- Close the blocked tab and do not enter passwords or card details.
- Check whether the alert always mentions the same domain.
- Remove unknown browser extensions and notification permissions.
- Clear site data for the suspicious domain.
- If alerts appear on many unrelated sites, scan the computer and check proxy/DNS settings.
- No añadas la URL a excepciones sin verificarla con varias comprobaciones independientes.
FAQ
Is URL:Scam a virus?
Usually it is a blocked web threat, not a standalone Windows file. Repeated alerts across many sites may point to browser adware or a malicious extension.
Can the site be a false positive?
Yes, but whitelist only after checking the domain owner, final redirect URL, reputation, and whether the site was recently compromised.
