Avast Blocks Website

[kay.austin5]

Fairly illiterate when it comes to this stuff. Trying to get on a site that I am a member of and feel is safe. Avast aborts connection - URL:Phishing. I've put the web address in as an exception, but still can't go there. Help!

Please break the link as I have in the quoted text to avoid accidental exposure and promoting the site.

Some security issues reported here - https://en.internet.nl/site/calasfmra.com/2355002/

Thank You  - is there a way to override the protection and get to the site? I tried putting it in as an exception and it still won't let me.

Personally I wouldn't give advise that I'm not comfortable with and you appear to have tried that already.

You still haven't broken the link as I suggested, not only does it exposure viewers to a suspect site, but web search engines trawl sites looking for urls, so it is also promoting the site.  Intentionally doing that could be considered spamming which could result in a ban. 

Report it as mentioned and the virus labs team will look at it.

Thank you. I think I broke the link. Wasn't understanding what you meant at first, sorry! 

[DavidR]

You're welcome.
It just stops the very curious clicking to see what's there.

You're best bet is to report it rather than try to add an exception.

Thank you so much for your help, DavidR. They responded and fixed it!
