How can I get my website removed from Web Shield Fake Site list?

I am coming here as the site owner and not user
My website is a legit site and I am happy to prove that to whoever I need to (israelpharm .com)

But Avast/AVG are bloicking access to it as URL:FakeShop → E-shop scam

I have tried to click the option to submit inside the program many times, I have tried to submit a False Positive report, but to no avail.

This is obviously having a major affect on our business

How can I escalate this matter to a person that will actually look into it?

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.
Only one hit here on VirusTotal scan

There are sites that can also check a site link and or file upload.

New location to report both a False Positive and or a False Negative (for File or URL)

Thank you.

I have already submitted my report on that form with no change

You’re welcome.

As an Avast user, I’m limited in what I can do.
Did you check the other two sites I gave ?
They don’t just look for malware but weaknesses, etc, that could leave you vulnerable.

As I mentioned.

However, in that form I would suggest giving a link back to this topic and a link to Virus Totals results and seek a manual review of the site.

The VT site is doing an on demand scan and Avasts Web Shield is a live on-access scanner, so isn’t part of the VT scan for sites.

I will try to attract some attention to this topic.

Hello @user6712,

Thank you for raising this!

The reported URL was manually 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.

@DavidR, thank you for your help and highlighting!

Thank you so much
Does this also apply to AVG Database?

I believe so, but like Avast the Virus Definitions are updated and distributed to users in the regular virus definition updates. Rather than wait uses can use the manually update check function.
