virus scanner code
Forum Index > Core > Bugs >
Hey
I'm not sure if anyone else has gotten this in the last little while or even recently, but the website was suddenly blocked via my antivirus program, Avast, with a Win32 [sus] code popping up. I had to go into the program and make the website an exception. Then the moment I loaded the website up, another one popped up that I don't remember the name of but that is was a phishing scam trying to get data on us.
I know this site doesn't do that. I'v e been on this site on and off since shortly after it went live, as I played on the original PFQ site, I just wanted to make the mods/admins aware of this and see if I was the only one that had that issue or not, given all the coding projects that're going on currently.
AVG (Free version) is blocking me also.
It began today, and had been completely fine yesterday until 20:30 server time. I noticed it at 05:45am server time today.
After temporarily disabling Scan for Scripts in the Settings, it allows me to access the site but gives me pop-ups like this every time I load a page:

Yes! That's the second one I got! Mine showed up between 5:30am and 6 am server time. It was so weird and random.
Hi, i have the same issue!
With avast since today, not sure about the hour i just woke up and it's there.
It says that there an HTML:Script-inf that seems suspicious i guess
I had to do an exception to came back if the nfo can help
Oh then i came back like the first user i get a message tellement me there an
URL:pishing here. But i'm here since so long i trust you so.. hope that can help with the issue
have a good day
So I just went to restart my Scours and I got a pop up alert from my antivirus, avast. So I'm not sure if someone's doing something or if something's going on or what. Just figured I'd post my own picture of it since I managed to take a screenshot this time.
Hi there,
Thanks for reporting this, saw a couple reports on Discord also.
Plausible is an open-source analytics solution we use and is currently hosted on my personal server (hence the moons domain).
I've double checked everything is up to date and nothing was accessed or changed maliciously and everything is fine on that.
I've sent in a report for false positive flagging to both Avast and AVG teams and would request people who use this software do the same.
I know this can be a scary alert for most but rest assured, this is definitely a false positive and everything is being done to make sure nothing bad can actually happen.

Avast just did this to me as well. Completely blocked me from the site. I had to uninstall Avast just to be able to get back onto the website. I hope they look into this false positive and hopefully it won't happen again.
Edit: Just saw Niet's post LOL.
So I just got this false positive as well but it happened now. I have Avast and it works fine but for some reason it's now saying that this site is infected. What can I do to stop it without getting rid of Avast?

Yeah that's what we're trying to figure out. This specific set was settled through the mods and was posted in the news section the next day and it was all good until today, which is really weird. The currect thread that will have more updates is listed here
Hopefully the mods will see the comments again, plus I'm sure DMs and the discord server are going off for them about this. They're more than likely already looking into this confusion chaos. For now, there's nothing we can do.
