I have been accessing the site via my Android phone on which I run Avast antivirus. Over the last two days, the antivirus has been alerting me to “Malware Detected!”, stating that “forum.aircadetcentral.net” has been reported as a malware site.
Scans do not reveal any problem. Avira antivirus free does not detect, or warn of, problems.
Does anyone know anything about this, or is this just a vagary of the Avast / AVG free antivirus software?
Looks okay on the Virus total database:
I’d guess some weird detection issue on Avast.
I’m having problems on Windows 7/Chrome/Avast.
Seems specific to the forums subdomain.
(Posting from iOS Chrome, which seems fine)
OK - will just switch to another antivirus.
Thanks for letting me know, the reason maybe that the forum is on a different IP address from the main site. This forum install runs in it’s own VPS which may confuse some antivirus.
I run regular scans to make sure nothing untoward is happening, but I’ll check again to be on the safe side.
Cheers
Interesting,
Having scanned the forum with a few online tools, it appears that links to:
whatdotheyknow dot com
Are causing a positive result for malware as that domain is blacklisted!
Not much I can do about that, except perhaps removing all links to that website! A bit drastic.
Cheers
