Title: Domain Blocked
Post by: REDACTED on June 06, 2017, 06:39:26 PM
Hello! 

I have recently taken over the domain vaughanrestoration.com onto my server.  It was being flagged as "URL: Mal" while on an old server.  I figured it was infected and by moving it to my server and reinstalling WordPress, the issue would be resolved.  This is not the case, in fact, it still shows the same error and inability to access the site, and even worse, ALL of my other domains on my server are now also blocked by Avast! 

I would like to get vaughanrestoration[.]com whitelisted - So far Norton has switched its rating and I would ask that Avast do the same.  Thank you and let me know if you have any problems - I would also be curious as to why the domain was blocked.  It currently, however, has zero malware on it.  Thanks and have a good day.

Daryl

Outdated Wordpress version is used.

Huge amount of blacklistings on that ASN/IP :

Vulnerable libraries used :

My advise :
- Get dedicated hosting
- Fix the vulnerable library issues.

None of those listed sites are mine - but I do use a reseller account.

According to WordPress, I have the latest version. 

And the site has been blocked before it was on my reseller host. T

here is nothing malicious on vaughanrestoration.com anymore, will Avast please whitelist this domain?

It doesn't matter if the other sites are yours or not.
That amount of bad sites on the same IP is reason enough to block everything that is using that IP.

According to the scan you are using Wordpress 4.7 while 4.7.5 is the latest.
