I just tried to login to MyGov, Australia's main government website for access to government services and Avast blocked it with the message
We've blocked the threat URL:Phishing on login.my.gov.au from being downloaded.
There were 2 detections with alert ID's
69c3cec73fac/2022-08-01T03:36:00.531Z
and
a7dfd2e6f1c4/2022-08-01T03:36:20.117Z
The exact same website worked fine yesterday.
The version of Avast I'm using is
Avast Free Antivirus
Program version: 21.11.2500 (build 21.11.6809.528)
Virus definitions version: 220731-6
Number of definitions: 24,312,035
UI version: 1.0.719
MyGov is the portal for
Australian Taxation Office
Centrelink
Child Support
Department of Health Applications Portal
Department of Veterans' Affairs
HousingVic Online Services
Individual Healthcare Identifiers Service
Medicare
My Aged Care
My Health Record
National Cancer Screening Register
National Disability Insurance Scheme
National Redress Scheme
State Revenue Office Victoria
Workforce Australia
so I doubt very much that they are trying to Phish. I've been getting so many false/nanny state messages (several a day) from Avast lately that it is no longer viable using it.
