Need some input on a situation concerning a web site I OWN.
« on: January 23, 2012, 08:22:51 AM »
So I just happen to own the name of my city / town here in kansas ( I dabble in buying and selling domain names on occasion ) anyways I just was checking out my site and just happened to put a type-o in the browser and hit enter and avast popped up and blocked the site, below is a screen shot, anyways am I to ASSume that somebody purposely did this for some strange reason just in case there was a type-o and WHY??

Here is MY web site I own http://www.perrykansas.com/

Here is the website that somebody is screwing with and what I accidentally typed and triggered avast to block it.

ww w.perrykansa.com

Just looking for some input on what might be going on and the motive behind it!

I am a hands on computer guy but the in's and out's of the internet are not my specialty.

Domain Squatting has an evil cousin.  He is called Typo Squatting. ;)

Hmmm I just got off the phone with godaddy and told them about my findings and they said nobody owns ww w.perrykansa.com also they went to the web site and their security software did nothing and I asked them what they were running for security and they said symantec anyways could this be a mistake by avast??

Ok, I get this: Domain does not exist or is unaccessible.
Also avast! doesn't give any warning here.
