Let's be honest are you tired of AVAST blocking your sites!? AVAST is scamming!!

[Michael (alan1998)]

I've made a few requests for someone to Ip ban her.

Edit: I've reported her (Again) for an IP Ban.

Edit: Break active links

Hello Michael,  I too am another Fling user trying to get this resolved!  However, I can't seem to understand how the URLs you linked correlate to Fling.com?  When I view the reports for Fling.com on urlquery it shows as clean.  The only info you posted is something that shows that Fling.com is on the same ASN as realitykings.  That's equivalent of saying "siteA.com" that is hosted with HostGator is malicious because siteB.com that is also hosted with HostGator is serving up malware.

Can you please explain exactly which part shows that Fling.com is/was serving Malware or is/was malicious?  That report you linked also only shows "ET MALWARE Hex Encoded IP HTTP Request - Likely Malware"  with no explanation.  I do see below that some of the hostnames in the graph start with "0x1", "0x2", etc...  Is that what is setting it off?  I have not found any proof so far that Fling did or is serving up malware.  All of the links provided have been inconclusive.

I have not found anything in the info you provided which provides evidence of any malicious activity.  Can you elaborate on your findings? 

Thanks!

Richard.

HI Richard, finally a guy with a brain here and spoke some sense!!

Your right Richard and it's all BS from avast,  I have fling.com also on my PC and mobile, no problems and never had a problem! I don't care what all these websites say about fling, they have millions of members all over the world, been around on the net since 1995, I  have been a member for 8 years, no problems, and there (I.T.'s) have called me to tell me it was Avast and that there are no reported problems  on their end!

Once again, avast is super sensitive and 99% of those pop-ups from avast are false positive!! If anything they are just reading your internet behavior and many websites do that today, it's almost the new normal, example: have you ever searched on the net- lets say for insurance, then the very next day and days after you get all this email, mostly in your spam folder, about INSURANCE! FUNNY HUH? These bots read your cookies, etc. THEY ARE HARMLESS!

AVAST DOES NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  HARMLESS BOTS AND NOT SO HARMLESS BOTS, AGAIN TWO REASONS: ONE- NOT ENOUGH HUMAN INTERACTION WITH AVAST,  AND SECOND, MONEY!  AVAST AND OTHER AV's  KNOW THAT IF THEY  BLOCK OR BLACK LIST THE SITE AND DON'T GIVE YOU ACCESS TO IT, THAT'S  MONEY IN THEIR POCKET, THINK HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL CALL TO HAVE THIS FIXED IF THEY CANT GET INTO THEIR SITE, THEY TOLD ME $175 AND THEY WILL UNBLOCK IT FOR ME, YEA OK, NO THANK YOU SCAM!

FIRST OF ALL - ME, YOU, (THE USER) SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY IT'S HARMFUL OR NOT, NOT AVAST!  AVAST JUST BLOCKS IT AUTOMATICALLY!

AND ONE MORE THING TO THINK ABOUT SINCE I HAD TO HEAR HOW IT'S NOT AVAST SUPPORT, BUT A 3RD PARTY SUPPORT.

...IF AVAST IS SO GREAT AND WONDERFUL, WHY DO THEY USE A POOR AND BAD REPUTATION 3RD PARTY SUPPORT WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM RIPPING PEOPLE OFF AND POOR CUSTOMER  SUPPORT!! JUST GOOGLE IT!    THINK ABOUT THAT ONE! 


Richard check out my screen shot!!

[RinaGomez]

You now can get into the site, it took AVAST 9 days to fix this problem and unblock it, another false positives from AVAST!


                                                  2,385,443 false positives and counting from the great AVAST!!   



                                                 ~ your PC is not the problem, nor the website, it is your AV!

Did you ever consider that it took your precious site this long to finally clean up their act

I don't care what all these websites say about fling, they have millions of members all over the world, been around on the net since 1995,

and because it has been around since 1995 it cant be hacked / infected?  http://www.scmagazine.com/every-36-seconds-a-website-is-infected/article/140414/

hpHosts   http://hosts-file.net/?s=fling.com

EMD - Sites engaged in malware distribution
This classification is assigned to website's engaged in the distribution of malware (e.g. adware, spyware, trojans and viruses etc).

Sites with this classification typically either contain files (e.g. cracks, keygens, adware, spyware, trojans, viruses et al) or lead to such via (for example) "fake scanners" or other social engineering and misleading tactics. This includes the activities of rogue Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that host other sites to which the EMD classification applies.

Once again, avast is super sensitive and 99% of those pop-ups from avast are false positive!!

where is the proof

on this i agree with you...the thirdparty support is bad

[RichardEE]

hpHosts   http://hosts-file.net/?s=fling.com

Where on that site does it show proof of malware distribution other than just saying that it happened?  I see all these links being pasted but nothing so far has shown solid proof.  That site you linked just gives a lot of information on their hosting service & netblock information.

Where is the proof of malware distribution?  Somebody please show me this.

Thanks!

Enough already.
Since it's no longer blocked, the site has already cleaned up their act.  Just move on.

Dont shoot the messenger .... i only give you what info is found online

For proof, ask hpHosts / Malwarebytes     you find a contact link at top on that website

Bleh...too much work to do as a simple user.  I just want to verify if they were really serving up malware or not because being an old fart I have been on the internet for way too long and have seen MANY TIMES where false positives happen.

If properly reported, these false positives are very quickly corrected by avast!.

Yuk!  I wish I hadn't clicked on your link.

Agree since the url shows some XXX stuff.

@-midnight

If everyone here goes out of his way to announce that that link is not secure, why oh why did you click it.
Why are we blocking sites like hxtp:wXw dot dangerous dot com  or - hxtp:wXw dot dangerous dot com?

Just in the hope users that come here aren't going to reconstruct the live link and go to that site at dangerous dot com to get infested with malware or confronted with smut or pr0n or whatever could upset your mind or ruin your computer.

We do not even put code out here, but only in the form of a picture like "code file on dangerous for com dot jpg" so you would not get alarms.

Whenever you want to scan a site or see what is on it in a safe way cut and paste the url into urlquery.net at the scan form and see what they come up with and as a bonus they will give you a thumbnail of what the site has (if it is too upsetting it will be blurred or not provided at all).

Promise, Polonus, you won't again go clicking suspicious links that ere being provided here by OPs. Not withstanding the fact how many nitwits maintain they are harmless, clean and full of sso-called avast false positives.

Damian

@Eddy,

Consider the fact that also children and minors form part of the avast! forum community, links with explicit thumbnail content therefore should be broken or just the relevant detection details should be given. First rule out here: do not harm!
