Report False Alarm on last version Avast antivirus free
« on: September 16, 2017, 03:35:33 AM »
Hello,

After I upgrade to the latest version program and virus definition. Avast blocked the canadacomputers[.]com website and report JS:Script-IP.inf[Trj] and URL:Mal. We try two different external scanners(virustotal.com and sitecheck.sucuri.net), and different antivirus program(Avira) to scan, didn't return any infection report. I believed it is a false alarm. Please fix it ASAP.

BTW, FYI, AVG and Avast share the same virus definition or scan mechanism. AVG also report the same thing.

Thank you very much
Matt

Hi,
The URL canadacomputers[.]com was indeed briefly blocked, after assesing it is a false positive, the detection has been disabled 16.09., 08:50 CEST.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
