Avast blocking Facebook Apps

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I’m new to Avast so maybe there’s a quick solution to this, but I haven’t found anything yet. I switched to Avast about a month or so ago because my other anti-virus program seemed that it lost it’s compatibility with Vista after an update. And so far Avast has been great, until now.

I’ve never had a problem with facebook games/apps until now. For example, Avast keeps blocking the ES Sports golf game on FB. It’s never blocked it before, but in the last 3 or 4 days it has decided that it’s a “Malicious URL” and blocks it every time. It is the Network Shield that is blocking it. I sent an email to avast about it, but I haven’t heard anything.

Is there a quick fix to this?

Just thought I’d give a bit of info here.
I’ve checked this and it happens on that app to me, as well.
I’ve gone to many other apps with no issues.
The details are:
URL: pgatourgolfchallenge.ea.com/twofb/?ref
Process: file://C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC6…
Infection: al

Yep, that’s it. I’m glad it’s not just me and seems to be an Avast issue. Like I’ve said, at first it was never blocked, and then all of the sudden it started blocking it every time. Maybe EA sports and Avast are having a love rift? :stuck_out_tongue:
