    My Avast free internet security has being issuing me with warnings all day about threats being detected.

    It started while streaming sports through using firstrowsports.eu (I know)I deleted and uninstalled my browser (chrome) and start using firefox.

    Everything was ok but when I reinstalled chrome, the same warnings reapeared. I then closed chrome but now as I type this using firefox, the same warnings are appearing.

    Intially when I tried to uninstall chrome, the uninstaller programme told me to close all chrome applications, but no such aps were open in task manager but there was chrome processes open. I cliosed processes which allowed me to uninstall chrome.

    I've ran 3 malware/virus scans using Avast, Advanced system care and Super Anti Spyware but nothing out of the ordinary has appeared.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Just have my PC on now and I'm getting the same threats being detected, 12 in total all with the same details (Bar the odd digit here and there) as the post above.

    I'm in the middle of running avast rootkit removal.

    Any Ideas?
