I would suggest that you clear your browser cache and restart the browser and see if it still happens.
If it does, next step do a manual VPS (Virus Definitions) update and restart the OS that should certainly force the use of the new virus definitions if they were updated.
Tried both of these and it still appears on that website! Updated avast, cleared cache.
Full virus scan and malwarebytes scan also returned absolutely no issues.
The issue does not appeare every single time I visit the site. Probably only once every 10-20 times I try the link. Do you think it could be a false positive?
I had the same issue as this, I would get it on different websites including: www.betfair.com, flashscore.co.uk. I’ve deleted cookies from the last 7 days and it seems to have cleared. Not sure what the problem was?
Update: Actually just gone back to those websites and alert is back even after clearing cache.
That’s exactly the same as mine (and others here). I use an adblocker (uBlock Origin) so it is strange that it does appear to be linked to an ad. If you click ‘more details’ does it say ‘banner’ in the URL at the end.
Also doesn’t seem to be a browser based issue given first poster and myself use Chrome, and yourself Firefox.
I’ve tested it on the regular Yougov homepage (https://yougov.co.uk/) and the same thing appears. Can anyone else confirm?
@ schmidthouse
It helps in that, what is actually being alerted on doesn’t appear to be on the actual yougov.co.uk site, there is something redirecting to the suspect site and crucially this suspect javascript script templates otBannerSdk javascript file.
This could be why not every connection triggers an avast alert, so something on the yougov.co.uk site has an external call to this suspect site and suspect javascript file. But it could just alerting on the fact that the onetrust.com site. Or what I tried trying to visit the site.
So it would appear that parameters need to be passed on the url path in your see details image as I just get a script error (see attached. But crucially I didn’t get an alert on either the onetrust.com site or the ukwest.onetrust.com site as displayed in the alert as URL-Blacklist
So still a mystery as to why that call to ukwest.onetrust.com and the scripttemplates/6.6.0/otBannerSdk file. Given its name otBannerSdk I just wonder if this is some sort of Ad Banner being pulled in. That however is speculation on my part, but I don’t appear to be bumping into it when visiting the yougov.co.uk site.
I do use uBlockOrigin and uMatrix addons in Firefox.
