Avast is reporting Channels community as malware site

#1

I get this every time I go to the Channels community website on my Android tablet. I sent a report to Avast a couple of days ago, but no response from them.

I’ve been getting the same when I try to go to the community site on my Windows desktop. Avast is my antivirus solution on all my computers.I think Avast is falsely flagging it but who knows.

This website may be in an Avast blocklist.

$ host community.getchannels.com
community.getchannels.com has address 104.21.71.35
community.getchannels.com has address 172.67.142.202

I checked ipvoid for the IPs returned by a name server lookup and the IPs look clean. Sometimes websites are hosted alongside other suspected sites and the whole IP block is blocklisted. This does not seem to be the case. So maybe Avast is flagging it for some other reason.

It seems like it has been fixed. I'm not seeing the popup today.
