APS Started blocking HBOMax today.

 How do I fix this annoying crap?

[DavidR]

Use the - Reporting Possible False Positive File or Website - https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php form. This goes directly to the Avast Virus labs.

I have no problem accessing HBOmax.com (other than not being in the USA) you don't give any details of the alert URL, etc.
A screenshot of the alert window including the expanded More Details section would help.

I had the same thing.  Msg said something about chrome and something called blacklist.  Didn't think to take a screenie.

Solution - opened up hbo max w/firefox instead.  No problem.  Its something chrome specific whatever it is.

The only thing I can find says:

Threat Blocked

We've safely aborted connection on
play.hbomax.com because it was infected with

Screenshot attached, doesn't prevent from using the site just annoying.

Submitted to false positive page as well, just wanted to share the screenshot.

Report it using the false positive link I gave earlier, in the meantime I have tried to draw some attention to this topic.

Ensure you update the Virus Definitions, do a manual update from the Avast Tray icon (Right click and select), it should now be included.
