So now Avast is blocking the competition?

Viruses and worms

Network shield is blocking a McAfee av tool:

Also, Avast doesn’t post a message every time access is blocked, which is very annoying and very bad form.

(Avast Free 5.0.677)

[s]Not here ???

Download works fine, no block. What is your database version?[/s]

Ok, I get blocked now…

Not sure why that happened…

Also, Avast doesn't post a message every time access is blocked, which is very annoying and very bad form.
I see this happen as well, but I think it is simply because you are refreshing the same link again...browse somewhere else, say here on the forum, then try again and it shows the alert.

Also, it seems only to be the latest version…

Mine is blocked…

Its blocked for me as well.

Go to PROFILE then Modify Profile then Forum Profile Information then update your Signature: with information like my signature as this helps the helpers offer pertinent advice.

In Account Related Settings select Hide email address from public? to prevent scammers and spammers harvesting your gmail.com email address.

I wrote your link into Google, and when I pressed the Search button, a big red alert appeared. :slight_smile:
But the red alert is not the same as Tech’s.

It blocked me as well .

Hello,

reason why this site got to URL blocker wasn’t blocking the competition :slight_smile: It was false positive and it is deleted now - it will be fixed in the next VPS

But in Google, avast! reports trojan as you can see in the picture what I attached in my last post.
Is it a fp, too?

That is the same detection but based on the fact that firefox pre-fetches google results…so it starts to load the first result or two to speed up the load when you eventually click the link.

I got the latest update and I don’t have a problem. :slight_smile:

Me to.

Now if faust would come back to verify this. ???

@ faust,

Your problem should be resolved now after having several Avast updates, which should have fixed your problem. Please verify.

If you feel that your issue is now resolved/fixed, please go back to the first open post in this topic, click the modify button in that Post and change the title/subject, add [Resolved] to the beginning of the title so this thread can be closed. Thank you.
