Title: Network Shield
Post by: jamjar on April 08, 2011, 01:02:02 AM

Hi

Avast Network Shield blocked css.wlxrs.com when logging onto my Hotmail account earlier this evening. I read it was a false positive but what was actually being blocked?
Thanks.

One of the network shield's functions is to blocks malicious sites, so that site must have been considered malicious.

But it turned out to be false, that's right isn't it?

Yes it was and was corrected on the next VPS update.
