The problem as has been mentioned in the other topics is that the anti-phishing/virus signatures contained on that site are unencrypted so when the anti-phishing Domain Advisor tries to update its database the web shield is going to alert on the unencrypted signatures.

That is what an antivirus is going to do it is looking for virus signatures, and when it find them it will alert.

Domain advisor is visicom: hxxp://software.visicommedia.com/en/products/antiphishing/ (substitute xx).

Problem is, Domain Advisor/Visicom uses Panda malware definitions.
Panda does not encrypt their definitions.
Other antivirus sees unencrypted definitions and treats these as the real thing.

Please make visicom/Panda use encryption.
In absence of this: uninstall domain advisor.

Personally I don't find any need for an anti-phishing application (even more resource use) when you have the Web and Network Shields. Add to that in most cases your browser Firefox/Chrome have built in protection in that regard also. Not to mention you can also add browser extensions which would also cover that, AdBlockPlus has a malicious sites filter also.

If you are waiting for Panda to change their practice of not encrypting signatures, don't hold your breath they have been doing this for many, many years.
