Google frequently removes my access from my PC due to possible malware concerns
Hey, this story is quite a long one. It began last November during a vacation when I received a warning from Google about unusual activity on my account from my home PC. The message indicated the account was accessed through a suspicious app and asked me to scan for malware. I immediately changed my password, logged out of all accounts, and later checked with several antivirus programs—Kaspersky, ESET, Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes—but found nothing. I also consulted the Malwarebytes forum admins after running millions of scans, and they confirmed my PC was clean. After that, I reinstalled Windows, which only removed a few unnecessary programs, and even with a fresh Windows 11 install, it still triggered an account logout a day later. I switched browsers to Firefox thinking it might be related to Chrome’s sync feature. Recently, in late January, the same issue occurred again while watching YouTube; the warning claimed Google was blocking me due to malware. Kaspersky still reports everything as clean. It’s confusing—no data changed, and I don’t see any signs of a hack. It seems my account never got compromised. What should I watch for? It’s unclear what’s really going on.
