PT is being blocked for URL:Blacklist

JB_PT

On my primary PC & my phone I use Avast antivirus. Suddenly this morning it has decided this is a malicious website. I'm using Avira on my laptop and it's fine for now. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there anything to be done on the PT side as a remedy?

I submitted a false positive report to Avast...I haven't done that before so I don't know how responsive they are.

JB_PT Thanks for reporting! The false positive report to Avast is the right way to handle this, so thanks a lot for taking care of this.

FortiGuard had also flagged PT as too new/unrated, but they took care of it quite quickly once I filled in their form.

Just in case, I checked the other blocklists here and it looks like we are doing OK:

This morning when I logged in, I got a warning from one of the security systems that came loaded on my newish 2-week old Windows laptop. I don't remember if it was McAfee or something else. I've been visiting the forum with no problem daily or more often since I got the laptop and also on my old laptop. I'm not very tech savvy and just clicked a box to visit the site anyway.

lilypad Unfortunately I was not given that option...the site was not accessible at all. I'm going to give Avast a few days to respond and if I still can't get here I'll probably switch to Avira.

lilypad Hmmm... What did the warning say?

lilypad Thanks a lot for the report, sure enough McAfee classifies PianoTell as "potentially unwanted program". I've submitted a request to reclassify it.

navindra Thank you. I'm not sure if it was a result of your request, but I got on and logged in with no problem this morning.
