I have used avast home edition for many years. I have been using Ripway.com for a file host for several years and never had a problem until yesterday. Now I cannot see my own files on Ripway nor can I see any of the images on my websites that are hosted at Ripway. I get a toaster pop-up from avast saying something to the effect that “avast network is blocking malicious site h1.ripway.com”.
Avast 4.8 Home Edition
version database 090103-1.01/03
Ripway was hosting some malware and I mistakenly blocked the whole domain - should be already fixed.
Just checked and when I clicked on one of my image files I got pop-up toaster, “Network blocked malicious site hi1ripway”
Now when I go to my blog I get multiple toaster pop-ups, “Network Blocking malicious site h1Ripway.com”. I do not want people using avast going to my blog thinking I have anything malicious there! http://coltpixy.com
I do not know of any other hosting site that hosts .ico files or pdf files.
I myself have been having issues with Ripway. I use it to store some .mp3’s so I can host them on a few web sites. I don’t have any other problems except for that. It always pops up as http://h1.ripway.com/***/*** (* = user name is usualy first and then the file name is second).
For me, the images/files hosted there are blank on the pages they are supposed to be on and I get the toaster pop-up from avast "“Network Blocking malicious site h1Ripway.com” while on the web page. Mulitple messages if more than one image is there.
If I go to Ripway I get the same toaster pop-up and if I click on an image in my account there I get an “address not found” page. I can see the thumbnails on the account and Ripway says they see no problems with my account.
It is 1150 am EST and I just had a update within the last hour and checked out my sites and my songs are now playing. Also there is no message popups about blocking them.
It is working fine for me after the update too.
Thank you! 
Avast!
