Avast is blocking my small business website which is a real worry.

General Topics

Avast has started blocking my website. I’m a small photography business and it is falsely labelling my website, where all my business comes from, and my client portal as a phishing website. My website is https://www.andybyars.com/ it is also blocking https://clients.andybyars.com/ which is my client portal through shootproof.com

This could be devastating to my small business that was only just getting going. I am really concerned that other virus checkers may follow suit if avast is blocking my site. Do you know how to check without trying all the other virus checkers?

I really hope someone an help. Do i need to spend a day contacting all the antivirus providers once avast sorts it? This is causing huge anxiety.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

It is because of abuse on that IP your website is on:

Thanks for your reply so how to I sort it there’s no abuse on my website, it’s a square space site. Do I need to change IP? I’m not a developer or anything hence using a square space site. Can you advise?

Not all sites on that IP abuse. Best to submit as a false positive to Avast and Let Avast team sort it out. Via
