Anonymous Doge checktrax threat being detected
I've seen others post about this here, but now I'm also seeing (with very recent dates e.g. today) Microsoft Security and Avast users reporting the same issue. See: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-security/what-is-httpw3pchecktraxcomw3pjs/5491c452-f86c-4528-964f-cbdd59f37e31
There appears to be a threat AVG and other antimalware services are detecting related to something called "
There appears to be a threat AVG and other antimalware services are detecting related to something called "
http//w3p.checktrax.com/w3p.js " (without the quotes.)
It appears to be detected by AVG and others in Chrome.exe
Scanning Chrome, the Google folder, etc. reveals nothing. It is detected repeatedly by AVG and others, and despite ostensibly being quarantined and/or deleted, continues to be detected periodically (a few times a week in my case.) This seems to occur irrespective of what sites I visit, so long as I am using Chrome. Full system scan turns up nothing either, with multiple antivirus programs.
I am sorry to hear that. Please send us the screenshot(http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot) of the AVG threat pop-up you received, so I can check the same and assist you further.

What can I do in the mean time to troubleshoot this issue? Like Kim above, I've already "repaired" AVG and taken the steps suggested in other topics. Who do I contact about this for more assistance?
I am sorry to hear that you keep getting this threat pop-up from AVG. This is caused due to an update issue and will get resolved in next AVG update. I suggest you to change the range of pop-up to zero from this location and check if that stops this detection pop-up.
Open AVG AntiVirus free\AVG Internet Security->Menu->Swettings->General->Pop-ups
Change the range to zero in "Alert Pop-ups". And check if that stop this detection message from your computer.

From the screenshot, I see that you have installed Avast Free Antivirus and facing issue with it. I request you to contact Avast support team at https://www.avast.com/support and they will help you further.
Thank you.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused. Karthikeyan has provided instruction to manage AVG promotional pop ups, if there will be any threat on your computer, then AVG will give you alert pop up even though it's 0 seconds. Regrading the AVG detection of Chrome.exe, it might be because corrupted Chrome files. So I request you to reinstall chrome once (please uninstall it from control panel > program and feature and download install it again "https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html") and check if it's working fine with enabled AVG. If the issue still persist, then please contact us again.
Best regards,
Alok.
I'll try again.
I repaired AVG, and reinstalled Chrome. The problem persists. Here is a screenshot.
