I am unblokcing them, but I spotted some very suspicious subdomains pointing to 85.143.216.53:
automatic.ellecouturegowns.com
strongest.ellecouturegowns.com
etc.

I strongly suggest updating all systems and changing all passwords (especially passwords of DNS hosting), or the domains might automatically be blocked in the future again.

system · 2015-08-18T13:52:59.000Z

Thank you.
Any other suspicious subdomains?
We’ll change passwords for DNS hosting.
When will your updates be live?

This should be taken up with the hosting party.

The website htxp://use-wear-talk.com/ is still being blocked and I see various server configuration issues that have not been remedied, see:3 warnings: https://asafaweb.com/Scan?Url=use-wear-talk.com

DNS passwords have been changed.
The sites are still blocked, have they been unblocked?

Hi,
Apparently whole IP 85.143.216.53 was blocked - I am unblocking it now.

system · 2015-08-19T13:03:59.000Z

85.143.216.53 is not ours…

polonus · 2015-08-19T13:30:59.000Z

No it is not, and this also seems blocked by Avast: http://bestbuydiet.net/
because url is not valid. Suspected of ROKSO Spamming.

system · 2015-08-19T13:36:05.000Z

Could be however I am interested exactly why Avast blocked our sites, only suspicion is not enough.
Official answer from the team was that sites were blocked becouse of Avenger EK virus.

polonus · 2015-08-19T14:22:15.000Z

See for instance here: http://1col.ru/www.ellecouturegowns.com
I see no items, the hidden asp code is for s a state control mechanism. It is used to preserve viewstate and control state.

They are usually included in a div element,

as we see here.

All domains except hxxp://www.ellecouturegowns.com/ have been unblocked, thank you HonzaZ.
Please unblock this last domain aswell.

Btw several subdomains still point to malicious IPs, for example:

Name: acknowledges.ellecouturegowns.net
Address: 85.143.216.53

and many more:
acknowledges.ellecouturegowns.net
automatic.ellecouturegowns.com
strongest.ellecouturegowns.com
democratic.ellecouturegowns.info
depreciation.ellecouturegowns.net
fight.ellecouturegowns.org
ingres.ellecouturegowns.net
jean.elledancestudio.com
recognized.ellecouturegowns.org
staff.ellecouturegowns.org
analysis.ellecouturegowns.net
plains.ellecouturegowns.org

If this does not stop immediately, the domains will be blocked again!

system · 2015-08-21T09:35:33.000Z

We are not using ellecouturegowns.net domain at all for our webs, although we have it registered. We use only .com suffix.
85.143.216.53 was generic () godaddy DNS entry for any subdomain on ellecouturegowns class of domains (net,org,com…).
I have removed "" DNS entries, please check now. It will take some time for DNS to get propagated.

This has a Netcraft Risk Rating of 7 red out of 10: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://85.143.216.53
bulk registering.
You are out on left AS → http://bgp.he.net/AS201848 → as-block: AS201216 - AS202239
This AS number doesn’t appear to exist right now, and so we are unable to generate a report.
