This popped up on Gateway Pundit last night. It is still showing today. I also got an email from Allstate that had the same URL: Blacklist but I do not have an image of that one. Just the one from Gateway Pundit. I ran the URL for GP in Virus Total and it was clean. Something is triggering this alert.
Are you trying to connect to the URL ?
Because that link (in the Details section) is to run a java script file, I’m not sure if that is legit or not and it isn’t Gateway Pundit. So it would appear that you are getting a redirect/3rd Party connection to the link in your image and that would appear to be the cause.
Again would you have expected an email from I also got an email from Allstate that had the same URL: Blacklist - seems suspect to me and I’m wondering if it might have something to do the the event-capture.min.js script run at Gateway Pundit.
However I’m not an Avast Team member.
No I am not trying to connect to the URL. I opened the home page and up the alert popped.
Is the alert on Gateway Pundit something I can fix or is it on their end?
Thank you for responding so quickly.
You’re welcome.
As I said, I’m not an Avast user so I can’t say why it is alerting, only the information you have supplied.
You are connecting to Gateway Pundit and (according to the screenshot) it appears to be initiating a connection to the other URL in the screenshot (given you didn’t initiate it). Avast is alerting on that third party connection.
Today there are no alerts on the site. Maybe they actually fixed it? 
Hopefully so, thanks for the confirmation.
And found something else that could be a contributing factor - I have Avast set to remind me when an update is available. It did not. My engine was out of date. Updated it and a couple other issues on Brave spontaneously resolved. The definitions were updated but the engine did not. Ticked the check box AGAIN to remind me when an update was available.
Did you do a restart, as I’m thinking that the engine wouldn’t be able to update whilst the old engine version was running.
Yes it required a restart. All is running good now and no more alerts so far.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Remember there could be quite some abuse from the racks of DigitalOcean,
for instance here: https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/104.16.181.15
That could also be a freason for the initial alert, digital ocean ‘fake’ error-5XX links, etc.
