My site is considered a threat
« on: February 09, 2016, 01:03:43 AM »
Hi,

My site https://www.quantumachine.net is considered a threat and I don't know why. Initially after doing some some googling I thought it was because my domain was parked in FreeDNS but I've moved to Zoneedit and the problem still occurs. I have reported this false positive dozens of times but no feedback at all.

Any info is welcome.

Thanks,
Antonio Huete

When you get the notification from Avast, there is a popup. in this popup there is a button to inform about "False positives". You fill in the information (explanation,email) and it's supposedly sent to Avast.

Hi Eddy,

Thanks for your reply.
In the links you pasted I don't see a compelling security threat for Avast to block the site or even warn about it.

I do not see anything malicious on that domain right now, so I am unblocking it ;)

Hi again,

How long does the unblocking takes to kick in?
I tried last nigh (10 hours ago) and it was still being reported as URL:Mal .

Hi, could you try restarting your shields? Right click on Avast tray icon -> Avast shields control -> Disable for 10 minutes -> Ok -> Wait until shields are disabled -> Right click on Avast tray icon -> Avast shields control -> Enable all shields

Also consider the detections from this report: https://sritest.io/#report/c49456ba-2603-4c91-bfdb-39ef09ff7b6d
Maybe you could implement the SRI Attribute hashes, there are various free tools to do this.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Hi,

Thanks for the info.I didn't know those scripts were unsafe. It is purely Octopress.

With regards to the shields, I'll give it a try restarting them.
