URL:Scam은 사기성, 기만적이거나 안전하지 않아 보이는 페이지에 대해 Avast/AVG가 표시하는 웹 보호 경고입니다. 원인은 사이트 자체, 광고 리디렉션, 악성 링크 또는 브라우저 애드웨어일 수 있습니다.
URL:Scam 의미
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.
경고가 표시되는 이유
- 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.
해야 할 일
- 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.
- 여러 독립적인 확인 없이 URL을 예외로 추가하지 마세요.
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.
