Remove Site From Blacklist
« on: July 06, 2020, 07:07:14 PM »
Hello,

I have had several potential clients inform me that they are getting a warning from Avast that my company website is not safe. I have conducted all necessary virus and malware scans and do not see an issue.

Can my site please be removed from the blacklist?

The domain is hxxps://jamssquad.com

Please see the virus scan results here:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/f1f58e002f39786c01217fd27dd37c4a4889656b92ae8258b304c5097dc00db2/detection

Thanks!

Please 'modify' your post change the URL from http to hXXp or www to wXw, to break the link and avoid accidental exposure to suspect sites, thanks.

Virus total doesn't actually scan the site (and avast isn't in that check), it just looks for blacklisted status as such.  But it is currently blacklisted by avast.

Nothing found here https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/jamssquad.com

Hi info2464,

Just wait for the final verdict by an avast team member, as they are the only ones to come and unblock.
But I do not see that website blocked at the moment by avast's.

In addition to what DavidR has verified for your website in the realm of security improvements (hunts),
you also have to consider that there is an issue with your Word Press CMS,
e.g. an outdated word press plug-in:    elementor 2.9.12   Warning   latest release (2.9.13)
https://elementor.com/ see line 171 of the code here: https://aw-snap.info/file-viewer/?protocol=secure&ref_sel=GSP2&ua_sel=ff&chk-cache=&fs=1&tgt=anxtc3NxdXwjLl5dbWA%3D~enc

JavaScript resources were not found to be blacklisted.

Thanks - I will wait for Avast to get back to me. I submitted the false positive ticket.

I also updated all plugins/themes on WordPress
