Hi,
I got a “Threat Blocked” message from Avast related to ping.getadblock.com/stats because it was infected with URL:TechScam.
Know of any problems with adblock and Avast, or is it a false positive.
Thanks

The alert is probably because of PHISHing going on on that particular IP -
https://sitereport.netcraft.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fping.getadblock.com%2Fstats%2F
&
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/104.131.33.197
Nothing here: https://themarkup.org/blacklight?url=ping.getadblock.com
But see sandbox request (a 301) here: https://quttera.com/detailed_report/ping.getadblock.com
Because this a not be used loopback interface: https://intelx.io/?s=ping.getadblock.com
This is being ad-blocked in the end, going to: htxp://free-counter.co.uk/
So we have to wait for a final verdict from avast team as to what this detection stands for or whether it is a FP.
