Business Website being blocked by Avast as Phishing...
« on: May 26, 2020, 05:31:59 PM »
... and Avast will do nothing.  Site is:  phase4services.com, created in Wix.  I have already run the site through several checks:

1.  https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/d0b34b771306bda211469d5cb16d89d40cd1a26c3367659937ea3620c56b8886/detection

79 of 80 found it safe (G-Data was the outlyer)


2.  https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/phase4services.com

"Low security risk"


3.  We have also reviewed the Avast recommendations for clean sites:

https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Threat-Lab-clean-guideline

And followed each instruction, and verified that we are clean.



Anyone have any suggestions?  We are going on three days with blocking.  Our whole company uses Avast.  And so do many of our clients.

I did that, and they came back and basically REJECTED my request.  Said it was still blocked.  I have ping'd them again, and they are submitting again, on my behalf.  But I'm not holding my breath.  Argh.

And, another note:  No other AV package blocks it, including such luminaries as Webroot, BitDefender, McAfee, Norton, AND AVG, which is now owned by Avast.  Why only Avast?  Appears their filter is not right.

See: https://aw-snap.info/file-viewer/?protocol=secure&ref_sel=GSP2&ua_sel=ff&chk-cache=&fs=1&tgt=d3d3LnBofHN7NHN7fXZbXntzLl5dbWA%3D~enc#ln_3187

Then see the suspicious code at line 3187.

Well wait for an avast team member to give the final verdict,
as they are the only ones to come and unblock..

Also consider DOM-XSS: Results from scanning URL: htxps://static.parastorage.com/unpkg/whatwg-fetch@3.0.0/dist/fetch.umd.js (-rock.mit - -zloirock.ru core.js)

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
