Email Guard not Effectively Identifying Phishing Emails
« on: December 31, 2022, 05:04:13 AM »
I chose Avast Security, as it was one of the frequently most highly rated security software for Mac.

However, I have noticed some flaws in the Email Shield's ability to identify and warn users of phishing emails.

Below is an example of one phishing email that I can positively identify by just looking at the subject line:

The font is mismatched, the subject and title clearly are meant to lead someone to believe that this email is from sam's club.


Below is an image of the actual email:

Is there a way to submit false negative emails to Avast in order to help identify more phishing emails?
