File rep warning stopping Windows Defender updates?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi, suddenly getting loads of File Rep Warnings for “very new or very rare” file dpownloads from {httpee}//:au.v4.download.windowsupdate.com.

Blocking my Windows Defender update dead and can’t seem to unblock? I tried to release the downloads but Avast is having none of it.

I don’t run WD live but Win10 seems to want me to ave it available for second opinion.

Where find I how to tame these Avast alerts (maybe I tweaked a sensitivity setting without knowing?) to let WinDef update in peace? Nothing in chest. Pretty sure WinDef updates involve very new and rare files to be fair. :-\

hi Quibbler,

A little website scanning done for you below:

https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/au.v4.download.windowsupdate.com/

urlquery is reaching a site version that seems to be for XP maybe? [EDIT:] Urlquery uses NT 6.0.

Multiple IDS exploits noted here for same site: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1473779814739 Could be what avast is triggering on.

[EDIT:] Screenshot would help.

Thanks mchain for reply and checking url.

Just downloaded Msoft updates for 2nd Tuesday including Win Def updates and Avast seems happy. No warnings or blocks. Only captured one screenshot of previous alerts and not sure whole file is visible. Uploading for what’s worth.

Guessing can file this under “What the…?”

Hello Quibbler,

thanks for reporting the issue. It should be fixed in tomorrow’s VPS.
