Site blocked by avast- MAL:Url - but can't find any infection
« on: January 16, 2014, 12:15:17 PM »
Hi guys,

Currently getting MAL:Url on http://www.pcgamerhome.com but I can't seem to find the infection.


If anyone has any idea what might be triggering it would appreciate some pointers.

do you mean in your computer ....or on that website?

if you get repeated popups when not doing anything, it indicate a infection in your computer

MAL:url means the URL or IP is on a blacklist

blacklisted by Bitdefender  http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/pcgamerhome.com/

The problem is that malicious websites are hosted on the same IP.
If you believe that website should not be blocked, ask avast to unblock it by using the link Pondus gave you.

EDIT:
Please make the link not clickable.

Well an external link going here was being blocked: htxp://www.51.la/?15662355 by an extension for me.
See realtime malware from there: http://support.clean-mx.de/clean-mx/viruses.php?sort=firstseen%20desc&domain=js.users.51.la
which is now most closed or dead, but could have been flagged earlier and led to the Bitdefender TrafficLight block.
External link given clean now: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=8840089

Because there is no reason to reply.
avast will investigate it and if/when needed they will fix things a.s.a.p.
They only will contact you if they need/want more information.
