malicious URL starting with “ams-update” - Apple Push [Solved] [Closed]

  • Author

Hi,

 

Since yesterday I’m having a lot of messages about a malicious URL starting with “ams-update” and some other letters, like ““ams-updatea”, “ams-updatec” or “ams-updatew”. Kaspersky inform that the app relate is something called “Apple Push”, but I never installed nothing by Apple and this app isn’t show in my programs.
 

I had search in the forum and found something close to my case, but the answer ask him to attach the report and a image of the problem. So, I couldn’t know the final answer, because was specific to him.

Can somebody help me?

Hello @PEGADelage & @mpaulino710,

Welcome!

  1. Have you installed any new extensions or backgrounds or themes?
  2. If “yes”, reset whichever browser the alerts are happening in to default.
  3. Export Bookmarks for that browser.
  4. Run KIS Privacy Cleaner. 
  5. Reboot, restart device, login, start KIS.
  6. Recheck the issue?
  7. If the issue is happening in all browsers, so we can see what KIS is actually blocking, may we have the KIS Report:

➡ Open KIS, select MORE TOOLS, select Reports, select Detailed Reports, select All Events, select  7days, select Export, export the Report, save as a .txt file, 📎 attach the Report to your reply?

Please post back?

Thank you🙏

I did the procedure and I have almost 2 hours and the message has not returned, I also uninstalled whatsapp windows app, because I noticed that the message came out more often when the app was open.
