Wake up Avast!

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I have reported http://routable.org as a false positive so many times but nothing gets done about it.

https://routable.org works fine but http://routable.org says it has malware. They both point to the same files! >:(

2

The https is blocked by the Online Security Plugin.

3

ssl (https) works, non-ssl (http) gives the malware warning and blocks access to the site.

4

Again, even SSL is blocked by the browser plugin (not that it matters). How did you report the false positive?

5

In the dialog that slides up above the system tray. I clicked “report file as false positive” and filled in the form.

6

Maybe try again here: http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php (Report false virus alert on website)

Thanks will give it a try :slight_smile:

avast does “not” scan HTTPS traffic. avast does scan HTTP traffic. One site (HTTPS) is not scanned the other (HTTP) is scanned.

Routable.com…

I found this https://asafaweb.com/Scan?Url=routable.org
This scan uncovered several underlying risks.

And this http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/55afb892853f13b7eeefb3c79d784691-1382805641
This report covers several other risks.

This is not a site I would feel safe visiting. :slight_smile:

Don’t be scared :slight_smile:

Those “underlying risks” are all unfounded. Not quite sure how they got there.

Still nothing been done about this :frowning:

Even Firefox reports your site as untrustworthy.

Strong evidence of http to https redirection when using the http protocol: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=7370982
(urlquery uses FF version 3.6.13)

Be sure to click the site screen capture upper right and read what it says. https: It says this even tho the original entry was http:

Sorry, but this is not a clean site. Certainly not one I would trust. You might not get infected but sure can have your private and confidential information stolen without your knowledge because of a MITM attack. As avast! cannot scan a https: connection, so it cannot detect malicous infiltration, therefore it cannot block it. Blocking likely is at the point where a http to https redirect occurs.

Para-noid nailed it with this scan analysis: https://asafaweb.com/Scan?Url=routable.org

Look at what the report says about http: to https: redirection to understand a little better about the risks present here.

when i tried to go the “routable.org” website, it was blocked by “firefox” due to the website’s having an invalid SSL certificate…

Confirmed.
