Avast is blocking my site

Hello,
A user has reported that they can’t access my site (handsupholidays.com), as it is blocked by Avast Web Shield, and regarded as a threat URL:scam

See screenshot

I don’t know what block.charter-prod.hosted.cujo.io - is, is this part of Avast?

Can anyone help me understand why my site is being blocked, and how can I overcome this?

Thanks!

It has nothing to do with Avast. I have no idea what the &token element at the end of the URL in your image does.
There is a possibility that one of your 3rd party links could be triggering this.

One other AV Webroot also detects something “Phishing and Other Frauds” in the details section of the scan

  • This may or may not be what Avast is alerting for - but you should certainly address the points raised in the above scans.

Thank you so much @DavidR - you are awesome!

I can see that this link you sent ( https://en.internet.nl/site/handsupholidays.com/2355585/) and the Sucuri link has identified some security issues - do you have recommendations as to who I can hire to resolve these?

On the VirusTotal link you sent, a security vendor named Webroot has labelled my site as malicious…do you know if I can reach out to them and ask Webroot to re-check?

And does it make a difference at all that on VirusTotal, the ‘text/html’ is http://handsupholidays.com/
handsupholidays.com
and not https://handsupholidays.com/
when further down it refer to the https?

Thank you so much!

As an Avast User and not Avast Team Member I can’t really suggest a company. Really whoever hosts the site or designed the site would be a good start.

Please break all active links to suspect site to avoid accidental exposure the http and https elements or use htxp or htxps.
Part of the problem is that there isn’t an automatic switch to a secure connection https as in my second link. So it isn’t just because of the http and https elements, it is the domain, just that it is less secure when using http.

Word Press CMS seems OK. Configuration also with no glitches.
