False Malware Alert on my website
« on: September 05, 2015, 04:10:37 PM »
Hi there,

I just bought Hosting and set up my website at "gameportal.website". When I try to open up, it gives me error. Right now Im getting old website at other server opening up, so I tried directly the IP address of mine. That IP itself is showing me error. Domain should not be an issue as it was brand new domain registered recently.

URL: http://104.156.251.110/
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

I don't know why. There is no malware on that IP Address.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Hi, sorry I could not understand all you said. Please explain. Reverse DNS entry is wrong, I am in process of changing it once I figure out what that should be.

But it isn't about domain, the IP 104.156.251.110 itself when opened in browser gives MAL error.

I have now removed my website from DNS records.

So gameportal.website does not open now.

The problem is http://104.156.251.110/

This IP Address that my Webhost has give me seems to be affected, blocked by Avast. Should I seek new IP from my host? If Avast has blocked, is it a chance that some other anti virus also blocking this IP? I don't want my websites to get blocked from opening for my users.
