Hi, On visting my own wordpress/woocommerce website which I am in the process of building (thevinylattic dot co dot uk - it's not quite finished so I don't want it being trawled just yet) I am suddenly getting a popup alerting me to my avg antivirus blocking a threat. It says 'we safely aborted a connection on dais7nsa.shop beacuse it was infected with URL:Botnet'. The alert ID is efda308f0da6/2024-09-05T09:46:34.622Z
I have run it through a number of scanning services such as Sucuri and they find nothing wrong but can somebody please check this for me? I am quite alarmed to be getting these alerts which popup every time I visit the site but I'm wondering if this might be a false positive, maybe this is something to do with woocommerce and avg is mistaken but I would be grateful if you could investigate. Many thanks. Darren
I submitted my site for analysis but haven't heard back from AVG. I have had my site checked by my hosting company and thay say there's no problem with it but I am still getting the threat message almost every time I visit it. They thought it was a browser issue so I cleared the cache and cookies but I am still experiencing this and on all browsers. I am very confused what is going on here. Have you checked my site yet?
