False Positive - www.borderhawk.com
« on: January 21, 2012, 03:05:46 AM »
Hopefully, this will get a removal as the contact form has failed in the past. I have requested 2 times that the website www.borderhawk.com be removed from the URL:Mal blocklist that AVAST distributes with it's antivirus software.  The URL blocking is falsely reporting our website as having malware. However, we are malware research company and incident responder. A private URL was submitted to a blacklist by other colleagues in the malware research community for which I shared this piece of malware which AVAST uses and subsequently AVAST apparently blindly added the entire DOMAIN for our information security and malware research company.

This is the private URL that seems to have caused this issue.

011-02-25, www.borderhawk.com/malware/testing/test_oghmann.cz.cc.exe, 74.95.154.17 · US · 7725 · COMCAST-7725 - Comcast Cable Communications ...

I will also contact WOT and Pareto Logic in the Morning.  Wish I could update the wordpress but we are limited with the version of mysql provided by yahoo (time to move providers).

It's wrong because basically anything you submit to VIRUStotal, so my colleagues directly linked the malware from VT likely. Also whatever gets pushed to Pareto Logic,I guess WOT picks it up.
