Title: Unexpected Website Blocked
Post by: Mr. Consumer on November 30, 2021, 01:59:16 PM
Avast Blocks me from downloading OneDrive from Microsoft's website.

The URL is:

Code: [Select]
https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Win/Prod/21.205.1003.0003/amd64/OneDriveSetup.exe?culture=en-us&country=US
Sent a false positive report a couple of days ago and got a reply yesterday saying,

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Avast and reporting a false positive detection. I'm happy to help.

Along with the Avast virus specialist, we’ve confirmed that this detection is correct.

If you are the owner of the reported file or website and you want to change the detection to clean, feel free to contact us again for a new analysis as soon as it matches the Avast Clean Guidelines.

Thank you for understanding.

I hope you have a nice day, and stay safe online.

This is an official download link from Microsoft. So I'm really surprised to get a reply that Avast really consider this site dangerous.
Can anyone explain what's wrong with it? Other AVs are not detecting it.
