Title: New https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload flagged by Avast Online Security
Post by: REDACTED on November 27, 2017, 07:26:56 PM: Today, https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload was flagged by Avast Online Security, yesterday was fine. Plus that site is usually shared in this forum to check for viruses.
Is that site still safe?
How Avast Online Security determines if a site is safe?
Thanks

Are you still getting an alert, if so please attach a screenshot of the alert window.

Post by: REDACTED on November 28, 2017, 01:04:04 AM: Considering I manually checked for an update to signatures/program of avast a couple of minutes before this showed up (being a near daily user of virustotal.com), I doubt that's the fix. If I were to guess, it has to do with the paid version of Avast which likes to do something different compared to the free version.

Post by: MikeSky on November 28, 2017, 07:49:49 AM: I was ready to post the same errors as the previous people were reporting, but then a surprise! When I went to https://www.virustotal.com (https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload) to grab a "print screen", the errors were gone. I'm betting someone fixed it...

BTW, interestingly https://www.virustotal.com/en/ never had the problem.

Good work Avast!!
