FRENCH USERS BEWARE!!!

[gdiloren]

For those of you who want to download a fresh copy installation of AVAST HOME 4.8, beware that searching google for AVAST sends you to this page:
http://www.avast.com/fre/download-avast-home.html and McAfee SiteAdvisor flags 01.net "RED" so there should be malware there.
Instead, download the setup from the English site (US) because setup can be done in your language (it's downloaded after you choose it) and thus you get the language version of your choice. ALWIL should investigate this site.

Wot / Finjan / Norton safe web are all GREEN ?
I think McAfee is wrong

That URL is the official avast French language page for the French Language download of avast, see image, reached from your link.

So there is something else going on in your system (DNS redirect) or whoever this system belongs.

Also I wouldn't put any store in Site advisor it is way out of date from many sites and often green flags sites that are malicious and red flags sites that were infected ages ago.

Another McAfee false positive... if it isn't enough their lack of detection

Why you make a fuss(chaos) about false alarm? Investigate first. It can confuse others users.

I don't mean the avast.com site but the button  01.net site you click to download the program. Eventhough it's Mc Afee I don't like it being reported as red (malware). You're right I should have investigated but I'm too busy for that and I leave it in the hands of the interested ones, ALWIL

You mean the site that the french setup file is hosted?
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/01net.com


Well, I presume ALWIL have researched it thoroughly enough.
Remember WOT/Siteadviser are community based and can be wrongly influenced...


You can still use the one hosted on the site:
http://files.avast.com/iavs4pro/setupfre.exe

(the link is in the same 'box' as the 01net button - the orange text/link)
