Hi, has anyone else had an issue with phishing alerts when opening new tabs? Any time I open something in a new tab I get an alert about phishing. I have reported it a couple of times to Avast but they haven’t been able to solve it.
Hello @THowey, thank you for posting in our Community!
The reason this alert is showing is that Avast is checking on the HubSpot tracking code (this happens sometimes). Since it is not malware, the way to resolve this is to add ‘hubspot.net’ to Avast’s safe list.
Here are the directions for that (from this site)
- Open Avast Antivirus and go to ☰ Menu ▸ Settings.
- Select General ▸ Exceptions, then click Add exception.
- Add an exception in one of the following ways: Type the specific file/folder path or URL into the text box, then click Add exception.
The only other alternative would be to reach out to Avast Support and work with them to remove this site from their Threats list.
I hope this information helps.
Pam
