It seems to be working fine now.  Thanks everyone!

Aye. I just received an email saying my False Positive report had been reviewed and they've cleared the URL.

Having the same problem again, too. Really coming to loathe Avast.

why isn't sentinel bioarmour's athletic regulation getting a look?

Oversight, it will be addressed in the next build.

Oh no. Oh god. What have I done?

Yeah, it's hitting me again as well. Filed another false positive report with them.

 

I find it strange that everything worked fine for over 2 years, but in the last couple months the site's been hit with multiple "phishing" false positives.

 

That said, going into "incognito mode" seems to prevent Avast from checking it, which is better than my previous fix of disabling the extension in my normal browser. Still, it's rather annoying.

I received an email from Avast telling me they removed the site URL from the blocked list. Seems to be working now; we'll see how long it lasts this time.

I wonder if its related at all to when we had several thousand 'guests' come to the website in a small window of time.  Still have alot more guests now then before that event.  Is there a website 'restart button' ?  Be able to clear out everyone for 1 minute and the actual humans can log back on.
