URL:Mal is the name Avast designates for malicious URL addresses that are blocked by anti-virus programs.

Avast does actually have a protection feature against unwanted software, but sometimes certain adware programs manage to skirt this safeguard. That’s why we advise you to use the choices of free software below to remove this threat detected by Avast once and for all. After cleaning, you don’t have to keep them around, except for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which is a great addition to classic anti-virus programs like Avast and will help make you PC even more secure.
