Avast Online Security pop up

General Topics

Here’s something very odd … for the first time ever, an Avast Online Security pop up saying that the Santander Bank official (locked) website ‘has been marked as a phishing site’.

Here’s the url https://www.santander.co.uk/uk/index

Anybody know what’s going on?

Hi havildar,

Avast has detected a phishing website impersonating the real website you wish to visit, hence the AOS warning/block. See attached below:

You can let avast know you think your site is clean here: https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Threat-Lab-report-malware

You can report a suspected FP (File/Website) here: https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php

Thanks Asyn … I’ve done that.

The strange thing is that the warning pop-up hasn’t appeared today, which makes me think Avast has already corrected that particular false positive.

My thanks also to mchain.

You’re welcome.
