Title: url:blacklist mannerstiring.com on firefox
Post by: avragorn on June 25, 2022, 04:21:19 PM

Hello,

I hope you are all doing well :)

Since this morning, I have a problem: everytime I open Firefox, there is an AVAST alert saying that url:blacklist mannerstiring.com has been blocked.
I don't know if it is a false positive or no.

I am in France, the startpage on Firefox is the main page of my internet provider, ORANGE.

I cleaned Firefox: I completely emptied the cache, the history... but the problem still occurs everytime I open Firefox.

AVAST antivirus gave me this reference to help the AVAST technical service: ea59f9a7878a/2022-06-25T14:10:25.195Z

I use other browsers: Chrome and Opera, and I don't have the problem with these both browsers. Firefox is my main browser I prefer to use.

I scanned with AVAST and with Adwcleaner, nothing has been found.

Maybe is mannerstiring.com a false positive ?

Thank you very much,

Gilles

Thank you very much :)

I don't know if it is really a false positive. It just happened when I was on Facebook, so I was not on the ORANGE startpage.

I guess the AVAST team will tell me after checking my submission, if it is not a FP.

Thank you very much again :)
