Avast report my bookkeping site as URL:Blacklist
« on: July 05, 2021, 10:15:33 AM »
Hi,

I have a problem when using my bookkeeping online site, Avast reports it as URL: Blacklist and terminates the connection.
I have contacted the site administrator with an answer that is a problem with my pc.

What do u think?
Can I contact some in Avast to make it an exclusion?

Here is link to image of report.

Thank you in advance.

@  farky-kc
Whilst considered a Low Security Risk on this check - https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/moj.minimax.hr - There are some Hardening Improvements, security related that you should consider.

This may or may not be why avast is alerting, but it is something you should consider.

Hi,
Thank you all for answering.
I was thinking that Avast is making false detection but after reviewing site check results I think minimax needs to improve their site.
I still need to work with site, so I add the site as an exclusion.
Is it safe to work this way while knowing the site has security issues because on this site are my whole bookkeeping documents?
Thanks again.

I could never say it is safe, you are using it at your own risk.

If you haven't already done so then you should report it as a possible false positive, so the detection can be checked.  Use the link that Pondus gave just above my reply and report it, you should get a reply in a day or two.  If confirmed as a false positive, you can remove the exclusion and check again by visiting the site.
