Global URL exclusion not functioning: http://www.miracleleaguear.com/

[DavidR]

Its in my first image of the alert with an * after the url.

It isn't my browser censoring me the redirection notice (image 2) is from the RequestPolicy add-on about blocking 3rd party XSS unless I allow it, which I did and that is when the ukispcourtorders.co.uk is displayed.

That in itself isn't the issue, if my exclusion wasn't in place I wouldn't have even got that far, I would simply have got the avast alert (as in image 1) again. So for me that exclusion had to have worked.

That certainly isn't the issue, to start with this is just where courtorders for banned sites/content are redirected to show what is banned and by whom. Interestingly I didn't get anything from WOT when it was redirected.

Can't see how this would be considered a scam, they aren't selling anything (probably some pi**ed people not liking the court-order ban. There isn't any customer experience, just a listing of the court-order by whom and on what site/s.

I got this in the email notification to this topic in the avast forum.

Well then mine certainly isn't working because I added that and every possible variation I could think of (for both domains). I never receive ANY avast alert, it simply refuses to load the page.

Whenever Avast is on I get this in Firefox:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Turn off avast, it loads immediately.

And in Chrome: This webpage is not available

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

So what exactly is the point of this forum, does anybody from Avast ever post here or is this just a ploy to get other people to provide tech support for free?

Someone from avast did responded here 13 days ago.
Till now you have not done what was asked.

And I wonder why you want to add a exclusion for a site that is not blocked by avast...

Please post a screenshot of the detection toaster.

What is a "detection toaster"? Never heard of it, neither has Google.

The popup displayed when the infection is blocked.

And the 'popup' comes up like a slice of bread in a 'toaster' from the bottom right of the screen.

And sometimes it's even burnt like toast.

I never said it detected a virus, this is the problem, it's not detecting anything it's simply not allowing me to go to that URL and blocking the connection with no message, no popup, nothing listed in detections, NOTHING. No matter how many ways I add it to exclusions, avast STILL blocks it without giving me a warning or anything. I've tried this in Firefox and Chrome.

So to the guy who claims I didn't do what was asked of me, sorry but I had no idea what he was asking for or why and rightfully so because I never once said it detected a virus for him to even be asking for that in the first place.

OK I realize now that I wasn't seeing the detection popup due to had silent/gaming mode on.  I am not infected with anything even when going there with avast disabled.

With Avast disabled, you certainly leave your system exposed to the dangers at that site.

For the average person who is inexperienced I would agree, but the fact is AdBlockPlus or UBlock Origin does more than Avast ever will these days, the fact that I have been going there years, disabling Avast just to get t here, and never once having an infection should prove that much The fact that Avast is blocking it with a virus message, when there is in fact no virus detection happening at all makes me think they are being paid to block access to sites like this.
