@jdmbeastmode What folder? It can be different things depending on the folder where the supposed threat was found.

@leocg its in my appdata > local > Programs > Opera GX
I'm not sure which folder it is I would have to get another blacklist and view the details but I really don't feel like getting a blacklist or virus... I'm trying to view the details of the blacklist threat aborted on avast but idk how it juts shows that a threat was aborted from ... (some website or something I've never heard of in my life. i don't even know if its a website since it doesn't have a proper URL) I'm not sure what to do because I've never gotten a virus or anything with my laptop. And seeing how it started when I got Opera GX and the blacklist is from the opera GX folder idk wut to do... -

It's saying some URL you are going to is on the blacklist that Avast uses. Avast should say the same thing no matter what browser you use.
https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/javiayul.live doesn't show the site as being blacklisted though. Avast might use a different blacklist.
What specific page at http://javiayul.live are you going to when this is triggered? Just the main page?
According to https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/b46aa265f7465c2bcfb868b5534938a6b3bbf6a61b9a803b3d3af082ab2a31db/detection, one engine considers
http://javiayul.livemalicious. But, I don't see anything wrong besides the page is loaded over http instead of https. If I testhttps://javiayul.liveinstead, everything is fine according to https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/9b0b8876c081a448830ed0712e26a3a4d597c144b07adcb83bc96b360ade3c1c/detection.In short, make sure you goto
https://javiayul.livewhere you see the padlock at the left of the address field.Try doing the same thing for other URLs that trigger the warning. mkae sure to use https and see if it helps.

You can submit URLs as false positives at https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php.

@burnout426 i've never heard of or gone to these websites so that's why I'm so confused. I can't even access these blacklisted websites because I block internet junk with dns. I tried to go to the website but its blocked because of dns and then Avast pops up with a threat aborted from javiayul.live because it was infected with URL:blacklist

@jdmbeastmode You wasn't/isn't infected with URL:blacklist. What happens, as said, is that Avast seems to have a list of blocked URLs (web pages addresses) and some pages ou are visiting or an extension you are using are trying to access web addresses blocked by that list.
Do you have any extension installed? If so, do still get those alerts if you disable the extensions?
When you usually get those alerts from Avast? What page(s) are you trying to open? What others are opened?

@leocg I have grammarly, google translate, speedtest by ookla, boxel 3d, honey, nod reactions for google meet, and install chrome extensions. I have all these extensions in edge except speedtest by ookla, and install chrome extensions.

@jdmbeastmode Anyway, I would do a test and check if there would be any alerts with the extensions disabled.
And what about the pages?

@leocg I mainly go onto pages I know are safe and plus I use opendns.com to block stuff that might affect my browsing in any way (virus, blacklist, etc.) So my browsing is kinda more than safe. almost all of the sites I go on are secure. If they aren't, then my dns will block them if they can harm my pc.

@jdmbeastmode You can have unsafe links inside safe pages and that may be triggering Avast's alerts.
Also, Avast seems to be monitoring your network/internet traffic and may be blocking the requests even before Opendns can get them. -

@jdmbeastmode It's possible an extension can do something different depending on what browser it's in. I wouldn't assume anything based on the behavior of the extensions in Edge. I would test in Opera to see if one of the extensions in the culprit.
