Are We Infected?

[Rory McCanuck]

Several times now, opening something here, this morning it was the smilies, Avast gives me a warning: Prevented your connection to www(dot)tristanhenderson.info because it is a dangerous webpage.
I've checked, apparently it's a phishing site.
Is this something that has infected the server?

I doubt it, we have a highly skilled and very attentive IT team running this webpage and the chance something like that slips past them is very doubtful!

I haven't seen warnings.

But I'm running a VPN that filters some stuff, Brave browser that filters some more, UBlock Origin that filters some more, and only then a virus/etc checker.

I'd be more concerned about AVAST than this site.

And I don't trust this site.

Personally I wouldn't ever run anti-virus software.

1) it can't catch zero-day attacks anyway
2) it has more rights to your system than you do and if *IT* gets hacked you are completely up the creek
3) I don't do anything that would tend to risk infection. Plus I run all sorts of other crap that filters out the biggest threats, which are trackers and ads.

And AVAST has a sketchy history.

The server is managed by a very well known professional company.

The issue likely is with avast.

But we will still contact our server team to ensure no issues are happening
