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!

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.

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.
