Hi guys,
Avast seems to block my website according to some users:
Could this have been because of an outdated wordpress (which is now restored)? I ran a few tests and there was zero malware, phishing or whatever.
My only other guess would be the feedcat widget at the bottom, but isn’t that going too far? It’s just a ping widget with admittedly, some ads (none of them to my benefit though, they are generated elsewhere).
Thanks in advance!

URLvoid also doesn’t find anything, http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/blog.thierryvanroy.be.
That said, I’m not getting an alert on your site, so what were the details of the alert ?
When posting the URL please ‘modify’ your post change the URL from http to hXXp or www to wXw, to break the link and avoid accidental exposure to suspect sites, thanks.
Or attach a screenshot of the alert window.
First I would say ensure that you have the latest avast virus definitions update 110810-0, being the one that I had when I visited the above link.
Having out of date content management software (wordpress, etc.) could leave you more vulnerable to a hacking exploit, but just having an old version wouldn't be the cause of the alert.Hi Thierry-Vanroy,
I get a clean scan here:

Me neither. (Also, when I tested it at forenoon.)
But this could also be related to NoScript, which we both use.
However, the site looks clean to me. (Also tested it at Sucuri.)
No (not for me), I selectively allow each site so I can pin anything down if there is an alert when visiting a site.
You mean it doesn’t look clean to you or it isn’t related to NoScript…??
It means that noscript isn’t blocking anything, so if there was a script causing the alert it isn’t there now as noscript wouldn’t be blocking it.
Thanks, got it.
