We have new ads with pop up issues ,adn we are wokring on getting those resolved as they are scaring away many users. I use avast also and do not get popups cause Brave browser + adblock.

I use an Avast suite that includes antivirus + browser that has its own ad-block. Ads alone wouldn't trigger its virus warning. Perhaps you should check your code? Maybe someone advertising on your site has a virus? That's rather common. If so, it must be an aggressive virus rather than just a preference tracker. You site's the 1st that's hit me with a virus attempt (according to Avast) in a long time.
