You misunderstand.
This is not a dangerous site. It is not a site blocked by all of Avast.
I was downloading from a mirror link when Avast showed a warning saying I had never downloaded from the site and what action I would like to take.
Usually these default to “continue download” or something similar so I just clicked okay, not noticing that the selection was actually set to “This is a dangerous site, make sure I can never come back here again even if it means the salvation of the entire human race”
I’m paraphrasing obviously, but you get what I mean…I hope.
I mean, after that last reply I really have to hope you understood what I mean.
There was nothing and is nothing wrong with the site I accidentally blocked. Avast wasn’t flagging it because it was dangerous.
Avast was flagging it because I had never downloaded from that site before.
I don’t need a program holding my hand through the internet.
As for reporting the site to Avast for validation…
Why should it be so difficult to take a website off of my own personal block list if I make a mistake?
If I accidentally click that okay button on every site on the internet, does that mean it blocks it for everyone or just me?
If it’s the latter, then what would sending in a report to avast do? From what I understood, the web site was only blocked for me.
Avast is a nice little anti-virus program, if you don’t know how to use the internet safely.
Otherwise, it just gets in the way. It seems to be foolproof in the fact that if you accidentally block something you have to earn a Bachelor’s degree in programming just to figure out how to unblock that site. I don’t need that kind of aggravation in my life.
