AVAST Online Security Plugin reports phishing

Hi,

I hope I am at the right place and I hope someone can help.

I have AVAST Premier.

The AVAST ONLINE SECURITY a plugin running off Chrome is telling me a site I have been using for a long time now is Marked as a phishing site.

I have clicked Trust This Domain (also gave it the thumbs up) and I have also added it to both exclusions from Avast User Interface: “Settings > General > Exclusions” and “Settings > Active Protection > Web Shield > Exclusions”. I have also rebooted the system.

Yet it still pops this annoying little screen.

I do not want to remove this plugin but if I have to then I will.

Any other suggestion besides removing the plugin will be great!

Thank you.

I use it almost every day.
Most of these online scanners are total crap, especially Google Safebrowsing .
For them, problem is not the site itself, but its content.
If you use the best security software called Common Sense, there is nothing wrong with this site.
Of course, don’t visit this site without uBlock Origin or some other adblocker.

So you trust WOT where people rate sites while they have no clue about security at all... >:(

I guess I should trust Securi and buy their product ?
I stay behind my post 100%.
I’ve seen this before,all these posts with the results of online scanners and then someone from Avast Team
comes here and says there is nothing wrong with the site.
BTW, AOS is also total crap.

Yes, especially if it report infections ;)

the blacklist report mostly come from other sources same as virustotal does, if you click the blacklist tab in Sucuri you will see that the report comes from google

Thanks all.

I have resolved the problem by simply removing the plugin.

Appreciate the input.

Are you sure that AOS is blocking the site ?

Chrome and Firefox Block KickassTorrents as “Phishing” Site

I have resolved my car’s “check brakes” warning light by removing the lightbulb that was lighting the icon.

:slight_smile: That’s as good as the cure for quarantined files. Simply remove Avast and I can now use those programs.

Why run an antivirus program if you’re going to remove the protection if that protection inconveniences/annoys you?

Don’t you need someone to blame when your system gets infected ???
You certainly don’t want to blame yourself do you ??? :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Bypassing a block or quarantined file without making sure that it’s absolutely clean and safe, is simply foolish.

Guys, we are talking about AOS add-on, not about Web Shield (real protection).
I feel protected without AOS because I use other much better security add-ons.

I use AOS with my own settings or selections and additional free tools from other vendors.

Cannot but agree with what bob3160 writes here.
I do not question AOS one bit. It is an excellent first line of defense to not click any suspicious or malicious search query result link.
It is always that first click, that may infest you. Do not click what comes flagged red or orange. Curiosity killed the cat on many occasions, and an unwise decision can make you regret that bitterly later. Shunning an infesting click is much, much better than to cleanse off a malware infection later. It well may be sometimes with a file infector or with ransomeware that you might not have that option of cleansing or a second chance.
If you use AVAST use it for the full of it’s protection, do not cripple it because you ‘think’ you know better, you often do not!
