A site I help with is now being blocked by Avast. I went to virustotal and did a scan for the site and it came back clean 0/37. There is also a another site I just go to that started being blocked a few days ago. It also shows as clean with virustotal.

I'm not sure about the rules for posting URLs so I will wait to see if they should be PMed or posted.

Hi c2s,

When posting suspect urls, please use hXtp:// instead of http://.

Thanks,

Right now the 1st site is loading fine again. Looks like there was an update since the when I started the post that fixed the 1st site's FP.

the VT scan is a reputation scan...it checks the url against some lists, it does not scan the site for malware
