Avast Blocking Site for "Phishing" Despite Exception (It's a false flag, BTW)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hello!

Avast keeps blocking me from accessing a site as it’s flagged as a “phishing” site.

Happened before on this same site and was indeed a false flag and Avast corrected it earlier. In any case I know the developer and they already contacted Avast to rectify it, etc. which may take time (last time it also took a while and Avast wrote an apology message to them).

Anyway that’s not the point… the point is, I still can’t access the site despite putting in the site as an exception in Menu > Settings > Exceptions > Add Exception and despite clearing cache.

Any other way I can disable Avast blocking this site, so that I can access the site? :o

Hi, does it get blocked via AV (web shield) or via AOS (browser add-on)…?

Thanks for the reply!

Didn’t know that was a separate thing; but anyway I checked and indeed it’s the AOS browser extension which is blocking the site.

Anything I can do aside from completely disabling the browser extension? (I still do want it to block other site’s if they’re perceived threats).

The Avast block has been lifted with respect to this site. Thanks all
