False positive: www.vikingsecurity.hu flagged URL:Phishing (Web Shield still blocks after file detection was cleared)

Viruses and worms

Hello Avast Labs,

Our company website vikingsecurity.hu (Viking Security Team Kft.,a licensed Hungarian security-guard company) is still blocked by Avast Web Shield as “URL:Phishing”, even though the underlying detection has already been cleared.

Status:

- The file/HTML detection (Avast: HTML:RedirBA-inf [Trj]) has been removed — Avast’s engine on VirusTotal now shows the site CLEAN.

- VirusTotal is down to 1/92 (only one small aggregator remains); BitDefender, Forcepoint, Webroot and others have already reclassified it as clean / business.

- Google Safe Browsing and Spamhaus DBL are clean.

- Root cause: an inline Google Tag Manager lazy-load script on the homepage triggered a generic heuristic; that script has been moved to an external file (/js/analytics-consent.js). The site was fully audited — no malware, no phishing content.

Despite this, the Web Shield URL:Phishing block for vikingsecurity.hu is still active. Could you please re-review and remove the URL:Phishing classification for vikingsecurity.hu and www.vikingsecurity.hu?

File reference (VirusTotal, SHA-256):

7d22aaf2f98bea9b2189a8ea440f84d744ed5294adb6f721402c8c3614b6a8d9

Thank you!

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

I will try to get some Avast Team input for your topic.

Hello @hava.janos,

Thank you for raising this!

The reported domain was checked, and based on the findings, the detection was removed. The website is now marked as clean in the Avast database. This change may take up to 1 hour to take full effect. Please accept my apology for the inconvenience caused.

If the situation persists after 1 hour, please update the Avast virus database and try again.

Thank you, @DavidR, for highlighting this topic.

Hi MJay, that’s great news — thank you for getting it sorted so quickly, and please pass on my thanks to the Avast Team. I really appreciate the fast turnaround.

I’ll allow the hour for it to propagate and clear my local cache. Thanks again for your help!
