Avast Network Shield is blocking safe image files from Minus.com

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Try again in 1,2,3 hours could be anytime soon.

Thanks. I’m not familiar with Avast, but it updates virus definition daily? If so please let me know if you guys see Minus.com unblocked.

Cheers

@DavidR,

Sorry for digressing, but there is no PM in this forum, so I like to ask you what software you using to capture the image b4766.png?

I have been trying to find a software (hopefully free) that is able to remove parts of an image and stitch the image together, as what you’ve done. Again, sorry for digressing.

Check my signature in my posts, surprising what you will find there SnagIt 10.0 Image Capture, it isn’t free but it is a great tool.

Hello,
next VPS release should be about today’s midnight CET.

Thanks so much.

Is there anyway to whitelist/safelist Minus.com and Min.us domains?

We can provide direct contact for issues if needed

27

Can anyone verify if the latest virus definition update has fixed/unblocked Minus.com ?

Cheers!

I believe it (VPS version 11101701) has corrected it, as when trying to download the i.minus.com/smedia/minus/images/dark-mode.png file that was in the image in the first post as a test, I don’t get an immediate alert by the network shield. Though I do get a server error, possibly the dark-mode.png file isn’t there or some other issue

@DavidR,

Got it. SnagIt 10.0 Image Capture indeed.:slight_smile:

30

Yup, VPS version 11101701 had corrected it. All’s clear on Minus^com now.
I tested it. No Avast alert anymore. Files are served as well as before.

31

Thanks Avast for handling this issue in a timely manner.
All my images are accessible with Network Shield enabled.

Avast is the best, of coarse nothing is perfect. False positives are expected from time to time.
Still Avast does better the most of the rest.

Good Job!! :slight_smile:

32

Appreciate all the help from the Minus.com team here as well :slight_smile:

Hope we can get safelisted from future false flags. If there are any issues just contact us via http://minus.com/pages/contact

Cheers

the bitdefender trafficlight addon (firefox,chrome) also flags site as untrusted and states:
“this domain hosted 20 phishing attacks in the last 90 days”.

That’s not good. We will investigate!
