[FALSE Positive] AVAST blocking FileSonic :(

[Sauce]

AVAST is blocking

FileSonic downloads


as of now I'm facing this issue specifically with filesonic.in

not sure if other servers of FileSonic are also being blocked... i.e.  filesonic.com , filesonic.uk , etc...


these are false positives, and I hope the next definition update will fix it...

[Sauce]

if yall can't fix it on your side,

can yall atleast tell me if there's a way to add an exception in Network Shield ?


all other shields have this option, but not this one :/

Exceptions are set in Web Shield, not Network Shield.

[Sauce]

already tried adding it in Web Shield mate...still gets blocked

[Sauce]

so asked for Network Shield, since it showed that Network shield is blocking it , not web shield...

no new info is there :/

The relevant info is the last post. It was a FP, and will be fixed.

Well, then simply wait until it is checked and eventually removed. I guess you can live a couple of hours without the site.  

[Sauce]

yup I can wait,

only thing is that I wanna inform the devs about it,


not sure if devs are aware of this...

[spg SCOTT]

Sirmer is one of the avast! team, they know about it

[Sauce]
