Avast False Positive
« on: March 20, 2018, 09:41:37 PM »
Can anyone help me get my site from Avast's block list?

hxxp://thetargetshopper[.]com

When I go to it when Avast is active it's blocking the site.

I reported it as a false positive a few times through their form but nothing has changed.

On every site scan I performed the site came up as clean -

- https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/thetargetshopper.com
- https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/d8d8f3f7d58a8b1193541aab515d34b2d109df4d84cd8330e02c70729470cc18/detection
- https://quttera.com/detailed_report/thetargetshopper.com
- https://app.webinspector.com/public/reports/80502362
- http://urlquery.net/report/5e54e76a-fd95-4b44-af1d-04cb51280cc8

How often are sites updated?

But there are other domains on the one and same IP that are being reported for phishing (1171 times in last 30 days)

For the AS it is even more: https://urlquery.net/search?q=+AS55293
See the most notorious here: https://urlquery.net/search?q=66.198.240.4
