I have Avast running on my Windows PC. It is treating bubble apps as malware. It just happened now. It may be similar to another prior incident.

Happening to me as well. Can’t open any app after an Avast initial warning.

Same on all apps, whether running on a custom domain or subdomain or not.

Not sure if this is related or not, but the timing does seem to be more than a coincidence. I’m using custom CSS and Javascript and suddenly the CSS stopped working for hiding a scrollbar and the Javascript isn’t syncing a scroll between two repeating groups. It was working perfectly right up until this was posted, and has been for weeks.

So we are seeing some strage behaviour in our version-test with repeating groups also, they’re all squashed and I suspect it’s CSS but just thought it might be worth mentioning!

Same here with AVG. It looks exactly the same as what is described in the Forum post you mentionned.

Most of my repeating groups are broken now , even in live app without any changes.

Same …for me. From past posts in the form, this has happened before. Is this is a common occurrence?  
No sites developed with [bubble.io](http://bubble.io) seems to work. Is there a fix to this?

Aucun de mes sites Bubble ne fonctionne. Avast bloque l’ouverture du site en me disant que le site est infecté par html:Script.inf

I also reported a false positive to Avast. as recommended by bubble last time this happened:

We’ve reached out to both vendors through their false positive reports form, and we believe this will likely resolve on its own, but given that we don’t have a pre-existing relationship with either company we don’t have an ETA. It may be necessary to request that your ow…
