This may not be a direct threat. It looks more like a cookie or site coding issue that is raising a false flag.
Your first step should be to check your software library is up to date and install any updates immediately. This may resolve the issue because AV techs will at some point have been alerted to common issues and adjusted accordingly. If that fails get a full log of the threat and go to your AV site's help desk. They'll be able to provide more info about the cause/nature of the threat. Then you can come back to this site and the cybermonkeys responsible from keeping the gaskets from blowing can look into it.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, denying the existence of ducks doesn't remove them from anyone's reality but your own.

Anyone else seeing ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS when using chrome based browsers? Firefox works fine but chrome, brave, and opera wont load the site.

"Doctor," he says, "It hurts when I do this." And the doctor replies "Well don't do it then." That's the simple - and flippant - answer. The more complex answer is to look at the default settings, how you log in and use the site and what add-ons you have in play. I'm disturbed that you are getting indications of redirects. That speaks to something in the browsers trying to get you to go somewhere else. Run an AV/malware check on your browsers. I occasionally use opera to access this site and have never had a problem doing so. That suggests a problem local to your system rather than me being terribly lucky. I never ever use chrome because of the sheer volume of data it shares with Google that users have absolutely no way to control or deny. Using chrome is like riding bareback in a Thai brothel.

Seems that an Avast update has fixed this.

A faulty protocol blocking access that's fixed by a software update wouldn't cause multiple redirects. That's something sending instructions to go elsewhere.
Your problem can be fixed permanently by adding exceptions for the sites you visit frequently that you know do not pass on malware. That and regularly scheduled updates for your AV libraries should keep you ticking over. Redirects could be a faulty safety setting - you try to access adult sites and end up at the Disney channel - or it could be a good old fashioned browser hijacking. Haven't seen one of those in a good long while.
