Title: Avast False Positive
Post by: REDACTED on March 20, 2018, 09:41:37 PM

Can anyone help me get my site from Avast's block list?

hxxp://thetargetshopper[.]com

When I go to it when Avast is active it's blocking the site.

I reported it as a false positive a few times through their form but nothing has changed.

On every site scan I performed the site came up as clean -

- https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/thetargetshopper.com
- https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/d8d8f3f7d58a8b1193541aab515d34b2d109df4d84cd8330e02c70729470cc18/detection

- http://urlquery.net/report/5e54e76a-fd95-4b44-af1d-04cb51280cc8

How often are sites updated?

For the AS it is even more: https://urlquery.net/search?q=+AS55293
See the most notorious here: https://urlquery.net/search?q=66.198.240.4
