URL:scam alert on my website
« on: August 06, 2023, 12:54:21 PM »
Hey I'm the CTO of zealy.io, a hub for online communities in web3, gaming etc.

Since yesterday, Avast is showing an URL:scam alert on our website and we don't know why. What are the reasons for this kind of alerts? What can we do to take it down?

Thanks :)

Thanks, I did reach out yesterday, but I didn't get an answer, which is understandable since it's the weekend.

Avast is super popular, so many of our users are impacted by it. I just want to know if there are things I can do to determine the origin of the error now. This way, I can be proactive in resolving the issue and not have to wait for the Avast team to investigate the ticket next week.

Only avast lab can answer, and it can be a false positive

Or, maybe this

Thanks, any ideas what does they means about hidden links? Our users can indeed add links to their website, discord or other in our platform through our editor.
