Viruses and worms
1

Our news website diarioconurbano.com.ar is being flagged by Avast as HTML:Script-inf [Susp].

The site is a legitimate Argentine news outlet running WordPress. It has been verified clean by 90/91 engines on VirusTotal, including Google Safe Browsing, Fortinet, ESET, Sophos, Sucuri, and BitDefender.

We had a malware incident in early 2025 which was fully cleaned in April-May 2026 (confirmed via SQL audit). McAfee/Trellix already reviewed and cleared the site (Ticket #2936921 — General News / Minimal Risk).

We have submitted two false positive reports via the official form — the first on May 21, 2026, and the second on June 2, 2026 — with no response on either.

Alert ID: a53d69e0497a/2026-06-02T19:16:33.579Z

Could the Avast team please review and whitelist this URL?

Thank you.

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.

Possible False Positive

  • New location to report both a False Positive and or a False Negative (for File or URL) - Choose Your Sample Submission Type | Avast - You won’t get a direct response but it should be analysed within 48 hours, if found to be false it will be removed. It looks like the automatic check still found something.

There are sites that can also check a site link.

Virus Total only returns 1 detection of 92 scanners.
VirusTotal scan of the site you gave.

I will try to draw some Avast Team attention to your topic.
