Website Blocked - URL Phishing
« on: January 12, 2022, 01:16:21 PM »
Hello @support out there,
Recently I'm unable to access a website even when adding to the exceptions list.
I receive URL Phishing alert, however there is nothing phishing about the website at all - it's a doctors clinic website.

https://nzdsos.com

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/e883f6a720a415fe9d9734bd285d54a26c0df94840e37c60703d91881e77500e/detection

I see 1 vendor out of 46 has flagged this as phishing (Forcepoint Threatseeker). I see they are a global government cyber-security partner.

Do registered doctors clinics websites count as a phishing threat?

Could there be an exception made or is it possible to remove the blacklist?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem - using my online accounts software Free Agent - trying to make an invoice in the online environment and Avast keeps removing the logo from my invoice (which was added some 7 years ago). It says its due to URL: phishing - how can i stop this happening so I can send an invoice - I need the client to pay!

You report URL to avast lab as possible false positive. See @Asyn first reply above
