Hi I was just searching for more information about Avast! Antivirus online and came across this site which looks quite fake, it was actually one of the top 5 results that the search engine displayed ( bing.com) .
Edit: Actually it was the first result - but it was highlighted in light green and had a tag saying its a sponsored site. Looking at the results displayed it didnt seem suspicious but after visiting the site it certaintly did
Just wondering if its a fake site and if it is whether anything can be done about it, as it will be very misleading for customers and they will get in troubleā¦ :-\
Search for Avast in Bing and it will be the first result you get. it says that its a sponsored site in small font though but most users wont notice it and will fall for this scam. That will bring a bad name for this Software ( again by some users who are not awareā¦).
Is there anything that can be done about this? to report this as a scam site or something? Will be very helpful for most users dont you think? (Users who are not that computer literateā¦)
What with it? HTTPS encryption means the connection is encrypted. Nothing else - and not even with ātrustedā root CAs, as the recent Comodoās fiasco shows. No, not even if the certificate shows a well-known company name, at least until you have verified the certificate fingerprint with that company.
