Why does Avast report mail.yahoo.com as a phissing site?
Today I was trying to log in to my secondary Yahoo mail account using Internet Explorer 8 (on Windows XP).
(I normally use Opera to access my primary Yahoo account.)
I entered my username and password and clicked Login. Nothing happened.
I clicked again and again, but nothing happened. The browser did not even try to load the page, it just ignored the click.
I tried pressing Enter, but that was ignored, too.
Maybe Avast blocked sending the form?
Then I clicked the link "I can't acces my account". Now Avast popped a warning about phissing site.
I closed Internet Explorer and then tried with Firefox.
On Firefox, when I entered mail.yahoo.com (the login page), Avast immediately popped the phissing warning.
I clicked "Skip this warning", but the warning just popped again.
I then tried with Opera. It had no problem (maybe because Yahoo does not "support" Opera?).
