« on: November 07, 2015, 03:45:21 PM »
... by Avast browser plug-in.  Why?  Is there some secret we don't know?

OK, if I start up Firefox, all tabs that ref.  www.google.com display Phish warning as shown in attachment.  IF from the primary Firefox window I open a second window from firefox for www.google.com, then no phish warning.  Also happens with Chrome.

If you use this URL https://www.google.com/ncr the /ncr = No Country Redirect so it should always go to google.com

EDIT: I have now visited google.com and no warnings.
