Paypal website is getting HTML:Paypal-B [Phish] alert

Just talked to Paypal and they say that Avast has incorrectly tagged the actual PayPal website as a Phishing website. Had a difficult time using Paypal to pay for an order. Please correct the warning. Thanks!

use Viruses and worms forum section for posting detection/FP

This happened some time ago (many posts in the forums) and a fix was done in the VPS Update (Virus Definitions Update).

Ensure that you have an updated Virus Definitions, latest version is 181029-6.

EDIT: looks like you aren’t alone in this.

I’ve reported the problem to Avast.

Its getting a little tiresome only 9 days since the last instance.

I can only report the problem. I didn’t cause it and I certainly can’t fix it. :slight_smile:

I’m well aware of that.

After the last time, I would have thought avast phishing alerts on what are huge volume sites would have had some serious reworking.

Well I just got it also is it safe to still make the purchase or not?? I am confused.

Info from Threat Lab: Detection disabled.

Yes got a message from avast this morning problem solved and The update was pushed and mine is working again now. Thanks AVAST

Thanks for the feedback :slight_smile:
