Hi Alex2019

See: https://retire.insecurity.today/#!/scan/76695aeec49183ab12af145b515ccec9d24e8cd8eb0dc9d269893a5d977dd000
and there the script link for "whos dot among dot us" tracker.

We here are volunteers with relative knowledge and only avast team members may come and unblock.
Wait for a final verdict from avast team after you have reported that alleged false positive (see Asyn's posting how to).

See recommendations for website improvement (e.g. security section):
https://webhint.io/scanner/ac25030a-0511-4b10-9cc3-d7a237945a6e

But is could be another issue, as this scan could not be performed either and
for possible reasons, see: https://urlscan.io/result/8c682e60-60b2-4659-99db-fd312b822253/json

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)!
