Just a little update, based on the results of this poll, feed back from outsite this thread and troubleshooting that we have done, I see little reason not to beleive that this is an Avast issue. As such we are working with them to try and resolve it.

[Slartibartfast]

I'm on a Mac, with Firefox, no issues here. I do occasionally get 'this page uses an unsupported form of encoding' or something along those lines, but refreshing the page always clears it up.

[bulletsforringo]

I am getting the warning while using Chrome on my Android device. I have Avast! Mobile Security.

 

The day before that I was blocked from the whole forum and the message told me it was a MySQL problem on my end. It might have had to do with my internet connection though but I thought it was worth noting.

[Kyle94]

Yep... Has to be avast. That's weird!

[RedPath88]

If you notice the issue stops, please let us know by posting here, thanks.

[ferrariowner123]

NO

Avira

Chrome (both desktop and mobile)

Still had the issue last night

[RedPath88]

Yeah as of last night, Avast had shown no progress of any kind on the trouble ticket. Irritating to say the least, I hope to get a bit of time to call them again today.

 

Maybe is everyone can start reporting the errors as false positives, it will kick them into gear.

[nunya]

I've clicked and filled out the false warning report twice (yesterday and today) and its still fudged for me...

[RedPath88]

I called them back and now I am supposed to get a. All from a developer either tonight or tomorrow. They claim they have a 24hr reply/callback on tickets, I pointed out that they missed that timeline so the lady "promised" I would get a call while she apologized.... Yeah I'm holding my breath based on thier record so far

 

Keep sending them in

[Inyourface1650]

Corporate Trend Micro - Chrome or IE. Wont let me proceed. "Known Malicious site"

[RedPath88]

Update: Avast Customer Support has still not made any effort to contact us, nor does the ticket show any progress of any kind by them. This is unfortunate as I have been a long time user and supporter of Avast (10+yrs) and have recommended the program to many, many people. However, with my first and only experience with their "Customer Service" I cannot in good faith recommend them any longer. And will likely stop using the software and move on to another (possibly back to AVG)once this whole issue is sorted out and corrected.

 

Last night some of you may have noticed that the forum was down. This was intentional, as we spent several early morning hours reinstalling the forum software a couple of times and testing. But still, Avast on my system is reporting the same as before. This even after deleting every file on the server and reinstalling/replacing with new and known clean files.

 

I have engaged out website host and now IPS regarding this issue. The Host found nothing wrong on our site or on the server. We will have to wait and see what IPS come up with, if anything. But one thing that I can say is that Avast is identifying numerous sites that run IP.Board software, including IPS's own and none of them seem to have any problem whatsoever.

 

I'll update again when there is more information.
