Avast blocking pcper forums as malware threat

**AMDScooter** · 06-23-2012, 03:48 PM

One of my other PC's has Avast free edition running. When I try to open the pcper forums Avats blocks it from opening claiming malware.

It may think the Lightning Round part of the forum is not "PC" correct, thus you are blocked. haha

Don't feel bad about this, my Malwarebytes did the same thing. If you have the option to edit the software to allow the sites to visist, do that first. Or just drop Avast.

It's weird.. but pcper is the only site getting blocked.

Same with me. Only forums is blocked, but it is all of the forums. IE 9, Avast Free, and Windows 7. I am using an old system with Vista right now, IE 9, and Avast Free and it works fine.

My other system was Vista 32bit as well.

Seems to have fixed itself.
