Free Wix Website Flagged by Avast (and no others) for Phishing
« on: September 06, 2024, 06:51:54 PM »
Hello!

My three free Wix sites are being flagged for Phishing by Avast.  I believe this is an error.  I submitted a report for a false positive to this site https://www.avast.com/report-false-positive#pc on 9/2/24, but as of 9/6/24 the flag has not been resolved.

This may have happened around the time of a Chrome update, but I'm not sure if these are related.

Here are the sites with https slightly altered.

hxxps://perfectcadence.wixsite.com/origins
hxxps://perfectcadence.wixsite.com/bambou
hxxps://perfectcadence.wixsite.com/bellamattina

Can you help me figure out how to stop Avast from flagging them?  They have been fine for many many years.

Thanks!

Wix customer service suggested that I remove the link to a sign up page for my Mailchimp email list.  I did that and the next day Avast stopped blocking the site.  The site had been blocked for weeks and I had made about 6 false positive requests during that time.  Removing this link from my site seems to be what helped the problem.  I never was able to have any communication with Avast.
