Avast is blocking "cacerts.digicert.com" as Malware

Hello,

I encounter this problem when I visit various good reputation websites such as www.gog.com. Especially on gog.com this block interferes with purchasing games from that website. I skimmed google a bit and cacerts.digicert.com does seem to be a legit website to check certificates. Is this false positive or is there something I am missing?

Thanks.

Hello,
post the screenshot of avast’s alert window, please.

How do I get that IP address?

Run cmd.exe
run commands:
nslookup digicert.com
nslookup cacerts.digicert.com
and post the “answer”.

Here is the answers:

nslookup digicert.com
