Not sure I’m posting the right area, but the avast software is saying that our company domain easy.12minuteaffiliate.com/home is blocked because of phishing URL.
This has caused huge concerns among our customers who had your software on their laptops. Can we understand what happened here and what had triggered the false positive??
It’s still detected, trying to connect to the main domain redirects to easy.12minuteaffiliate.com/home, so I don’t know if this might have something to do with it.
The redirect has been like that for years (it’s the way it’s supposed to work)
I’ve had my tech team look and they can’t find anything malicious on the site.
We’ve dropped the url into multiple “site checkers” and it always comes back clean.
And, to the best of my knowledge, there have been no updates to the site since yesterday when this first happened.
I reported the false positive multiple times today (haven’t heard anything back)
If you believe this page should be here, there might be more information on our status page
In a similar thread in this here virus & worms section of the forums,
we have been met with a reaction by a Clickfunnels’ representative,
who goes on about certain particular obfuscation in CloudFlare’s anti-bot code,
to make that anti-bot solution more effective.
As to this moment we heard from avast team that the detection should be genuine,
let us all wait for a final word on the matter.
This knowing that other av-solutions have much worse track-records in the field of deny-listing staying on and on.
I am also curious as what finally will be established triggering the blocking of these sites.

But to your other points - I’m curious about what triggered this as well
I was in a clickfunnels forum and apparently there are a couple of other people who this happened to - I’m not technical but it may have something to do with cloudflare (I don’t know)
As for now it seems that the avast virus specialists have now cleared the site’s reputation in their database
But I would love to know what’s triggering the issue in case it’s happening elsewhere with other av solutions - I’d love to fix whatever happened (if I can)
I am curious as well “what cat will come creeping out of what bag at the end of the day” so to say.
Try to understand my position, I am just a volunteer here and not an avast team member,
I am a volunteer, that they offer a platform, because of my relative knowledge in the field
of 3rd party cold recon website security intelligence and website error hunting.
Seems that CloudFlare has added specific obfuscation to get rid of all the anti-anti-bot attacks,
they are constantly enduring and that somehow got in the cross-hairs with clickfunnels,
and caused a Cloaking detection for some websites
(Cloaking meaning Google is being shown a difference of code and code size.
seen in reference to what is being shown to Googlebot).
What redirect exactly is involved I do not know, somehow it seems clickfunnel’s or CloudFlare’s doing,
or whether it is just the obfuscation used there, that is a no no to trigger avast to block.
So we have to be patient and wait and see where the issue goes eventually.
