Whenever Avast blocks a connection to a website, it gives reason why it did so in a notification. I’ve seen the reason vary and some like URL:SCAM are self explanatory others not so much. I’d be interested in having a full list of all possible codes at hand together with an explanation.
PS: Is there a way to dial the blocking behaviour in a bit finer? Maybe on a reason basis instead of a site by site basis?
URL:SCAM is an example I had on top of my mind when I made the thread. There are others that are more cryptic and I couldn’t find a list explaining them.
There are many different codes and for the most part there of this style which are a generalisation Scam threat at this URL, etc.
There are literally millions over 21 million (see attached image) of malware/virus detections in the virus definitions on your system.
So there is no database that I’m aware of outside of the virus labs team, but display in Alerts will generally fall into this type of naming.
