Title: Blocking the website
Post by: anantha1krishnan on February 16, 2014, 10:56:32 AM
Hi,

I have Avast free antivirus version 4.8.  I used to play games with the websites "http://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/game.php?id=3981" and www.atarimania.com but now it is blocked by the antivirus and gives the following message. Application blocked by security settings. Name: jstella Location: http://www.atarimania.com. Your security settings have blocked an untrused application from running.

Kindly help me unblock the websites so that I can play the games.

Why are you running an avast version that is 5+ years old?

What is your OS and machine specs?

The sites you list work fine for me.

First site has a hidden iFrame to htxp://www.awsclic.com/l/1259760 -> http://www.vizzed.com/boards/profile.php?id=368752
I see a 404javascript.js on site meaning some malcreant wanted to score some backlinks there!
Nothing being flagged  here however: https://www.virustotal.com/nl/url/fe3bdc0d7878620aae23326d0bd6c7dfcf49d2b7b0527fdbbe4ab485b068a797/analysis/1392562170/

For the second site, this test is OK: http://dnscheck.sidn.nl/?time=1392560915&id=1736108&view=basic&test=standard
I get a couple of bad requests: http://jsunpack.jeek.org/?report=3e58d0e8a0dc1e6b60f90d77e597a1ce6c54725d
but benign here: http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/ad6abbd905ffa6fcb344bfadd20b86c2-1392561237
There were problems with that IP in the past, it was on the Dshield blocklist, it was blocked as a community threat,
and as an advanced threat, all threats with danger level 3.
But would be interesting to know what threat is being blocked by avast?

My system is Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.  Computer is i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, 3.4 GB of RAM.  I got the Avast from a friend and so it is the old version.  I have entered the website under exceptions in Avast but still it gets blocked.
