Title: False Positive: https:www.canvasist.com
Post by: JineshShah on October 01, 2021, 12:22:24 PM

Hi,

tried accessing a website which I have purchased before from but it shows up as blocked as a phishing website which should not be the case. Is there an issue with it? I am really close to the co-founder so thought I would highlight the issue to the website as well as to Avast.

Can they do anything to get it removed?

Was this an active site (domain active) before you bought it ?
If so you could have suffered from its history.

If this website is also on an IP address that has multiple websites linked, that could also suffer from that.

You should get a response in a day or two.
