It is ... but not for URL scan (blacklist check)

if you do a file scan, avast is there :wink:

Hello Pondus
OK … thanks for your reply … it is true that Avast is viewed on Total Virus for file scanning.

  • And regarding the URL that is blocked … do you have a way to check it?

thank you in advance
Have a good day

Malekal is an IT expert who specializes in malware. As such, he posts information about viruses (in this case bankfrauds) online. As he used non-encoded version of the real phishing, we have detected the phishing in his website and alerted on that.

Now I have two options:

  • write to him to remove/encode the phishing
  • disable the detection

As both him and this specific phishing are not active lately, I opted for disabling the detection.

Hello HonzaZ,
Thank you very much for your answer and explanations, explanations that it was not a FP but that Avast had detected a “bankfraud” (unlike antivirus consulted on virustotal.
I think that since this phishing is not active … suppressing detection is the right solution.
Thank you again for your intervention.
Have a good day and enjoy reading again.
