Today, https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload was flagged by Avast Online Security, yesterday was fine. Plus that site is usually shared in this forum to check for viruses.
Is that site still safe?
How Avast Online Security determines if a site is safe?
Thanks

No alert when I visited that URL, see attached image.

Are you still getting an alert, if so please attach a screenshot of the alert window.

I’m not OP, but I am experiencing a similar issue. Attached an image of the flag.

As you can see from my image I’m not getting that, can you try a manual virus definitions update and see if that resolves it.

Considering I manually checked for an update to signatures/program of avast a couple of minutes before this showed up (being a near daily user of virustotal.com), I doubt that’s the fix. If I were to guess, it has to do with the paid version of Avast which likes to do something different compared to the free version.

Hi, it is still happening, Avast Free Antivirus is up to date, using the Avast online security on chrome

I was ready to post the same errors as the previous people were reporting, but then a surprise! When I went to https://www.virustotal.com (https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload) to grab a “print screen”, the errors were gone. I’m betting someone fixed it…

BTW, interestingly https://www.virustotal.com/en/ never had the problem.

Good work Avast!!
