Getting threat on main page.

[brhanson2]

About 10 days ago or so I started getting a threat alert from Avast when the website opens for voting. If I remember right its a url of http://www.jagtoplist.com, shows contains URL:Phishing. Comes up every time.

Might be a false positive, not sure. Ive checked the main page and don't see that url. If it is there you might check it out +C, might be something hanky.

It doesn't come up if I open the website manually, only happens when the voting stone opens the browser.

Typical Avast is typical. Which version of Windows do you use? If 8/10 then uninstall this crappy Avast and stick to Windows Defender.

same here, Avast is warning since some days

Site is not secure (anymore?). Cert issues probably.

That warning is due to a mediocre, initial, script detection service in AV, to detect CC mining through URL redirects

You visit site A, Site A is paid to redirect you to site B, who runs a mining script. Your processor is hijacked the minute you open the site. In MANY cases, even after you leave, the malicious bastard is still running. So, until AV.....AND DEFENDER.....get their crap together, pay heed to innocuous looking sites with odd warnings from your software

Problem should be fixed now... jagtoplist uses (like many others) an image to track site activity (along with how many people actually vote). Perhaps the website was hacked and used for phishing or malware purposes, and since our frontpage had a resource (image) linking to that website, the antivirus alarm went off.

Thanks +C, threat is gone.
