www.google.com being blocked as a phishing site....

[REDACTED]

Interesting.  Now, if I type "www.google.com", it re-directs to "https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl", and that generates the Avast blocker.  IF, on the other hand, if I type "https://www.google.com", Avast approves and displays the page.  So, it looks to me like the google re-direct, "https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl" is where Avast thinks the Evil lives......  Same thing in Chrome as in Firefox.

Hi ranald2,

What happens when you have disabled https scanning in Avast. Is all coming back to norms then?

This is FF I do not use it a lot

Unfortunately I can only get Google.co.uk  as the com domain is barred to me

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.

Thanks David tried that and still no warnings...

Howdy,

Disabling Avast Online Security Browser in Firefox solves the problem.  I don't see a way to specifically disable HTTPS: scanning within that.

Having same issue in Chrome on Mac OS.  https://www.google.com works, https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl redirect flags

I am located in the USA, Eastcoast and getting the same warning.

It appears to have cleared up for me at least. Thanks.

Yup, it is not flagged on my computer either.
The only affected URL was "https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl", and while the fix is now live, we continue to investigate why this actually happened and what steps we will implement to prevent similar false positives in the future.
Thank you for your reports, which made us realize the false positive as soon as possible, and also thank you for your understanding !
