Hi,
avast's network shield reports a URL Mal on the following site:
DasBlondinchen.blogspot.de
Is this a false positive?
Thank you!

Thank you. So this means that the site is indeed malicious right? Sorry to ask but I am not that familiar with these things.
What exactly has Avast blocked here? The site? A file?
Thanks
Edit: this is the result form VT on what sucuri has as suspicious

URL.mal means the url is on a block list

This is the Avast report file from the Network Shield. I hope this is even more informative.
The last entry from today is the one.

Site's rel canonical tag pointing to another domain, that is being flagged...

Ok.
Two questions:
This warning by Avast is purely based on a blacklist and has nothing to do with a scan of the visited site right?
Did Avast block complete access to the site or rather domain ? So No immediate danger?
Thanks!
