Strange URL Blocked

Viruses and worms

After opening Firefox earlier today, I received the following notification from Avast.

The hidden part of the url is my IP address. Could anyone tell me what as13285.net is and if this is just a false positive? If I try to visit the domain, it just brings up the same ‘infection blocked’ window.

Thanks.

Is you ISP talktalk ? http://whois.domaintools.com/as13285.net

I think so. I was with Virgin but all low speed/ADSL customers are being transferred to TalkTalk, so it may have switched now.

Even still, why are they redirecting me to this page, what is it for and why is it being detected as malicious?

I have just reported this as a false positive

I have done the same.

Out of interest, are you able to access the page or do you also receive a warning?

I received a warning as well which is why I reported it :slight_smile:

Ah, right!

Thanks for the quick responses.
