Title: www dot co dot cc
Post by: tbint on September 24, 2010, 12:33:57 AM
I tried to to co.cc just a minute ago. avast network shield blocked the site. "Malicious URL Blocked" Is this a false positive? Has anyone one else had avast block this site? I do have it book mark to this site. Had it for a while now. But this is the first time this site has been blocked.

A browse of the forums will see another topic about this. Check the viruses and worms forum, which would be the correct location to report this.

A search of the forum for "co.cc blocked" turned up nothing about my warning. Thats why I posted. I'm sorry I posted in the wrong place. I use the free version. Thats why I posted in the avast free forum. Thanks for the info about the forum.

I shutdown my computer and and booted, I got the same warning, but then avast updated. After Update I was not blocked from the site.

Hello,
I think that this block was fixed in yesterday's VPS (100923-1).
