Hey everyone since last couple of days avast has been blocking a site for me. How can i change the settings so it doesnt block this website. Heres the screen shot:
Hello,
it’s similar to other topics, which comes up in last days saying that avast! detects “HTML:Script-inf” there. In this site here is tag which leads to “phpinclude-bin.com”.
The problem is not with avast blocking this site. The detection is genuine as avast’s Milos stated here.
The problem is with the webmaster of the site and/or the hoster of that domain for not cleansing the site from malcode that avast detects.
Furthermore the vbulletin software on that site was not updated leaving it open to vulnerablities that could lead to malcode injections.
So you should not try to circumvent an appropriate avast blocking of a site, but rather inform the webmaster of that site he has serious security issues.
Funny is that we get a lot of reactions like this. Avast detects malcode on a site and then users ask: “What can avast do about this?”. Not a lot.
If something of a malware alert appears a lot of users try “to click this away as soon as possible, because it irritates them, putting themselves out to real danger of getting infected”. I do not mean this personally but as a general observation of the common average user reaction.
Users just demand instant solutions and are easily irritated these days…
I guess i havent been cleared so far. My purpose of this thread is to know is there any setting i can change in Avast so it DOESNT block this website? Because i knw for a fact by visiting that website its not doing any harm to my computer. PERIOD. thanks
Sure there are ways to get around this but no one here is likely to assist doing this when the site is clearly infected. Besides avast! there are several other antivirus/malware companies reporting it. Malwarebytes has this site on their blocklist too so while you “think” you know you will be safe others have proven there is an issue with that site , the warnings and blocking are in place for a very good reason.
We have removed the malicious script from the code, does anyone know how long it takes for the blacklisting to be removed after submitting a removal request?
That might be true, Pondus, still that site throws up an IDS alert as malvertising site: ET RBN Known Malvertiser IP (5) (Suricata/Emerging Threats)

Check the JS writes [18] there is a GET request for some GET /contact/bct?pid=5CF40FD6-etc. etc.

creators view this as legit ads, others as malvertising adware/spyware (can make fx freeze)
i got this all the time with sites i have used for years that are totally safe, had to turn off web shield, before they went to the “CLOUD” crap never had this problem
