Can't find a thread to post this in so I will post here.
I am tired of Avast blocking my downloads from a number of sites because it says they contain URL blacklist. I have been using these sites for years, long before I used Avast, and they are legit sites. Now I have to disable Avast so I can download my files  or updates to files or download other files from legit sites. 
There should be an option to add the sites to a safe list

You should start your own 'new topic' as it is unique to you and your problem.  This one is very active and you post will just get buried in the nearly 7000 posts.

Give some examples of the problem domain name/s only not active links (to avoid accidental exposure to suspect site/s), a screen shot attached to the post, with the Details option selected would be helpful.

Interesting, I know someone i the forums that isn't going to like that (still on Avast 10) !

But what I'm unsure about is how the various different Avast program versions differ in the delivery of the virus definitions to make this necessary.  Or are avast considering a new/different delivery system for updates or a major update of the VPS to perhaps give better detections or optimize them again.

I notice from the blog post that it is only offering information on how to update to the latest version.  For many the reason they are using older versions is the operating system/computer they are using.  Perhaps they need to consider making the off-line update for version 12 and above.
