How Do I Remove My Website From Your Blacklist?
« on: March 10, 2020, 08:08:17 PM »
Hi,

Some people using a website I manage (hxtps://www.fondation-afnic.fr/) says that they have from AVAST a message warning them about URL:BLACKLIST when they tried to download PDF from it.

I tested the file on my Kaspersky, no pb; on gmail antivirus, no pb; on virus total online, no pb... I'm pretty sure that it's a false positive but it's a real problem now.

Even Google says it's fine: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=https:%2F%2Fwww.fondation-afnic.fr%2F

Can you please help me on this?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Thibault

Some point you might wish to consider, see https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/fondation-afnic.fr.

Try using the - Reporting Possible False Positive File or Website - https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php.
This goes direct to Avast.

You should do as DavidR says, report it as an FP.
Here we see nothing being detected for IP related: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/54.38.32.252/relations
