Phishing warning but not in virus chest
« on: July 15, 2020, 09:50:04 PM »
I received a warning on url that phishing was detected. There is nothing in the virus chest. Is this normal as there was no file to quarantine in the chest?

Yes if avast blocked a website (URL) when you surfed the web? ... URL is not a file in your computer

screenshots of warning pop-ups is always a big help

Submitted the email url to Avast submission area. Got the email from a friend, thought that’s odd, texted to ask did he send an email, he sad yes. He hadn’t, he made a mistake, thought I was referring pics he sent last week. Thankfully Avast blocked the Link to the URL ... thank you for your product.

I just wondered why it didn’t show in the chest as a blocked link, but being that it’s not File, I understand.
