Malicious URL blocked

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Avast free 5.1.889 has suddenly started blocking a forum I use regularly, namely www.blackberryforums.com/
The only way in, is to disable shield control temporarily which is annoying and defeating the reason for using Avast. All other websites I visit are fine. Any reason and cure please.

Try adding the URL to the exclusions in Web Shield.

Web Shield> Expert Settings > Exclusions.

Edit: that doesn’t work. it needs reporting as a False Positive, there is nothing wrong with that site.

Thanks AdrianH. That did not work. How do I go about reporting it as a False Positive?
