Administrator Aslain Posted October 18, 2018 Administrator Posted October 18, 2018 You posted in wrong topic. I split it up. It's false-positive, aggressive antivir don't like websites with ads. You can support me another way (paypal/patreon) and click on direct links. Quote

It's avast and ya it screws itself down tight after an update sometimes it takes weeks to get it tweaked back in. I hadn't realized it auto updated overnight. I really REALLY hate auto update. Quote
Dinotanker Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Just got a phishing scam alert from my AVAST virus software trying to download the WOT update today on all download locations. The alert was for phishing . URL. The download was blocked on every one of the download sites I tried. Edited October 18, 2018 by Dinotanker Quote

Will try other download sites and report back on them later. Moved your post into a similar thread, and out of the wrong one. See Aslain's reply above. Quote
Dinotanker Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Have had avast and been using Aslain's for well over year. This is the first time it has come up with this. Quote
ZoeBallz Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 I am getting PHISHING report as well using AVG. Something is definitely wrong here. Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted October 18, 2018 Moderator Posted October 18, 2018 It's most likely just the AV companies flagging the domains, for occasionally having that "fake techsupport" website, which is a phishing attempt, trying to get people to enter their stuff. There's really nothing to do about it. There's already several alternatives to use too Quote

Right now ALL of the sites on the aslain's page are blocked to me and again this is new today. Quote

Dinotanker Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Thanks for that info. That is what I meant when I mentioned location. Since there is no indicator that the words "direct" were anything different than the download link I had no idea that they went to different locations. Quote

Direct means it goes directly to download modpack. Download link goes through the ad-supported page, and then to the same download link that direct provides. It's a means to support Aslain. Using direct gives him nothing at all - unless you donate. There's plenty indicator, given that it's a seperate link all together, next to the other one, called "direct" 1 Quote
