False positives from Webguard!
« on: April 30, 2013, 08:08:21 PM »
Lately, I've been getting false positives from Avast! Webguard when trying to access netload.in addresses.  It's starting to get annoying, and I'm seriously considering switching to some other product because of it.

No alert on the home page, but file hosting sites are on occasion going to be pinged for some of the content hosted. As essexboy said if you can provide more information in the form of a screen shot of the avast alert.
