False positives?
« on: December 04, 2023, 12:26:43 PM »
Hi,
I keep getting reports that my e-commerce site Amethyst Coffee, running at https://amethyst-coffee.online, is being flagged up as a malicious site by Avast.  Any ideas?

It is an unconditional redirection to wXw.paypalobjects.com

So you have to take that up with them, paypalobjects or the developer of the site.

Suspicious as with S.HttpRedir.gen. That does not say, malicious as such and could be an FP.

Wait for a final verdict from avast's and whether this is not a security buster,

I made the site but use the paypal plugin for woocommerce for payments.
