Legit website with apparently erroneous virus report

Viruses and worms

Hello !

I’m the admin of hxxp://www.hentairules.net , a NSFW site, and this morning I found that Avast reported a generic “URL:mal” infection.

I’m coming to report that the website is clean, and i would be really, really! grateful if Avast could remove the warning :slight_smile:

I’m not sure if these forums are the right place to report it, but I honestly couldn’t find where else to ask O_o

About the reasons why I’m confident the site is safe, I can mention

  • after nine years of active website webmastering with full access, I’m confident in my skills at detecting problems with a website after someone mentions there might be a problem
  • a series of binary-rule folder comparisons between the current live website and backups aged 3, 9 and 15 days have shown only legit file changes and file additions were made

In other words, it may be something else (a third party, like the intensedebate.com comments system, or the statcounter visitors counter, who knows), or then it’s a false positive.
But the website itself, hxxp://www.hentairules.net , is clean, I am 100% certain of it :slight_smile:

And Avast would have “discovered” this 3-year old false positive, to which every other refers to ? O_o

Oh well, I’m off to that one, and I’ll also use Avast’s contact form.

Thank you very much, Pondus, for your help :slight_smile:

As Jack Sparrow said : « yes, but you have heard of me », that’s the kind of spirit I’m in right now, haha. Hopefully some day, it will be fixed :smiley:

I received a reply from the advertisement network I’m using, juicyads, they bounced off an announcer, that was them. As in the past :expressionless:

Thank you VERY MUCH for the link you provided, urlquery.net, I’ll keep that one in my bookmarks, and share the link with the webmasters I know ! :slight_smile:
