Any manga.php page would be blocked under Win10 desktop; the page is not blocked on Android mobile devices but Avast would pop-up a warning message, claiming manga.php has been reported as a phishing page. Other .php pages (anime, people, company, releases, etc.) are not affected.

According to my AVG Internet Security Web Shield, your Manga Encyclopedia is infected with "URL:Phishing" and is blocked by my software from entry. The Anime Encyclopedia appears to be unaffected. I tried entering through the menu, and then searching for the item of interest (Gleipnir) but any attempt to enter the Manga pages is blocked.[/img]

There's no more detail than that? No indication of what exact page the problem is on or how to fix it? Not to mention, maybe there's no problem at all and this is just bad AI.

I've submitted a false positive report to AVG, but I'm not expecting much. You may need to add ANN to AVG's exclusion as mentioned in https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=AVG-Antivirus-scan-exclusions&supportType=home

I got a reply from AVG
Quote:
I've checked the website together with my virus specialist colleague. Based on the findings, the detection was removed. The website is now marked as clean in the AVG virus database, so you'll be able to browse it without any issues. This change will reflect automatically in your AVG latest within 6 hours, or you can perform the update manually by following the steps in the article: Manually update Virus definitions.

Does it seem fixed?
