URL:TechScam

I'm having the same issue Lynette is having. It just started today when i go to watch somenes stream on Twitch.tv. I get a notification from AVG saying it is infected with URL:TechScam. I have scanned my pc and nothing is wrong. I always go to this site and never had any issues before today.  How do I stop the notification so i can watch peoples streams again. Only works it seems if i take the WEB SHIELD OFF.

It says we've safely aborted connection on video-edge-691980.jfk04.abs.hls.ttvnw.net
