URL bloquée par Avast ?
« on: October 20, 2017, 03:56:51 PM »
Hello,
Avast me blocks access to the site of malekal
https://www.malekal.com/securiser-son-ordinateur-et-connaitre-les-menaces-2/






Is this normal? can you check ?
Virustotal gives 0/64
Thank you in advance for your answers
Have a good day

PS) why is Avast no longer available on Virustotal (url analysis ) ?

Looks OK here  >>  https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/www.malekal.com

Maybe a FP

How to report  >>  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=14433.msg1289438#msg1289438


and next time use Viruses and Worms forum section for posting virus and false positive problems

Malekal is an IT expert who specializes in malware. As such, he posts information about viruses (in this case bankfrauds) online. As he used non-encoded version of the real phishing, we have detected the phishing in his website and alerted on that.

Now I have two options:
* write to him to remove/encode the phishing
* disable the detection

As both him and this specific phishing are not active lately, I opted for disabling the detection.

Hello HonzaZ,
Thank you very much for your answer and explanations, explanations that it was not a FP but that Avast had detected a "bankfraud" (unlike antivirus consulted on virustotal.
I think that since this phishing is not active ... suppressing detection is the right solution.
Thank you again for your intervention.
Have a good day and enjoy reading again.
