Why no option to add exception?

I know this site is safe, only 6 detections at virustotal

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.

There is, in the Avast User Interface, Avast UI > Settings > General > Exceptions, but not directly from the Alert window.

New location to report both a False Positive and or a False Negative (for File or URL)

There are sites that can also check a site link and or file upload.

I have just checked VirusTotal for the URL and that figure is down to 0/92 - with a lot of those as unrated.

I will try and draw some Avast Team input into this matter.

Hello @Leo3487,

Thank you for raising this!

The reported domain was checked, and based on the findings, the detection was removed. The website is now marked as clean in the Avast database. This change may take up to 1 hour to take full effect. Please accept my apology for the inconvenience caused.

If the situation persists after 1 hour, please update the Avast virus database and try again.

Thank you, @DavidR, for highlighting this topic.
