Hello,
Avast antivirus blocks genuine web sites. I am trying to pay for my membership to www.ascp.org and Avast identifies it as a phishing web site. A false positive form was submitted on 1/10/2018 but there is no feedback from Avast so far.
Here is the received message:
“We’ve safely aborted connection on www.ascp.org because it was infected with HTML:Phishing-SH[Phish].”
Would you be able to assist with this issue?
Thank You!
It is now solved.
I have updated both the software and the virus definition and It still prevents from continuing through the web site.
The error and virus definition versions are attached.
I would wait till Avast fixes a possible false positive or, acknowledges that this is truly a site to avoid.
If you’re 100% sure this is a false positive, you can always do this:

There is combination of HTML elements which is commonly used by malware creators.
For example this part is not well written:
<div class="content-block"><span style="font-size:small;">33 West Monroe Street, Suite 1600, Chicago, IL 60603 </span></div>
Removing unnecessary non-breaking spaces will solve FP.
you need a css editor
