I came across a strange behavior. You can test it here www (.)sanmiguel (.)io
AVAST is complaing all stuff. Images, html pages, … everything. I’ve already checked all files, word fence security is fine, downloaded the whole site, run the security file checker by AVAST, I set up a complete fresh wordpress testing instance – same same. No Plugins. No extra stuff for this specific testing purpose. I’ve send 5 times to the false positive url (Report False Positive) with no response. I even do not see where the alert ID should be I have to put in… ;(.
I hope you can help me out with this as this is crucial for us running a business website and not knowing how to handle this topic.
I assume it has sth. to do with .io-Domain or the caching in the backend (wp-rocket, Varnish). Strings within the url, I don’t know. I need a solution on that or at least some kind feedback of the AVAST team, so I can be sure there’s someone I send my infos to
& where to start…
First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.
You won’t get a direct response but it should be analysed within 48 hours, if found to be false it will be removed. Given you have submitted/reported it multiple times and is still detected, Avast must still consider it suspect.
There are sites that can also check a site link and or file upload.
Thank you so much @DavidR for coming back on this and the given urls. Tested on virustotal & sucuri and all seems to be fine. It’s weird as It is on a fresh install of wordpress too. Well, and as I haven’t got any feedback of AVAST yet, I do not know what else to test.
