my site is blocked - False Positive. how, how could this happen?
« on: November 28, 2012, 02:58:18 AM »
My site - http://stampstampede.org - is blocked by Avast. Why oh why is this happening? I check with securi, and it's clean.
not being paranoid, but.... are there ways of getting someone's site blocked maliciously?

How can I get this addressed immediately?

Thank you

Can't find anything on urlvoid or urlquery either.

There is an on-line contact form, http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php?loadStyles for:  * Sales inquiries; Technical issues; Website issues; Report false virus alert in file; Report false virus alert on website; Undetected Malware; Press (Media), issues.

- If you are reporting an FP, then you get another input field open, click Browse button and navigate to the file or enter the web URL for the site you wish to submit for review (Network Shield), etc. A link to this topic also wouldn't hurt.

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)!

This could only be with an older version of this script, having a nasty bug for IE:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-toolbox-bug-html5shiv-is-out-of-date (link author = Peter Wooster)undefined variable a.childNodes
     error: line:1: SyntaxError: missing ; before statement:
          error: line:1: var a.childNodes = 1;
          error: line:1: ....^
  suspicious: maxruntime exceeded 10 seconds (incomplete) 0 bytes
