Blacklist URL

Sun Nov 14, 2021 2:37 pm

OpenSubtitles.org is my go-to for subtitles,but every time I go there my Avast Antivirus quarantine's the Blacklist URL virus.

I can't be the only person this is happening to? Is there any initiative to remove this virus from the site?

OpenSubtitles is such a useful website but I'd like to have more confidence that my box isn't going to get infected from using it!

Thanks for your eyes on,,,

Try using opensubtitles.com and verify if it happens there. If not, use that version of the site instead.
If so, try using Ublock or some adblocker and try using .org version again. Still a problem?
Try with incognito/private mode. Still a problem?
Try a different browser. Still a problem?

Try clearing your cookies/cache and reload site after each test. Still a problem?

If there aren't random pop-ups popping up on your screen asking you to click them, I can't imagine anything is there to infect you. It could be an advert or banner that's triggering that warning and Avast is being sensitive about it.
And, no, I don't have that problem whilst using Norton AV.
Nor am I able to replicate the problem.
Nowadays a VPN is a must for everyone. A VPN allows you safe surfing and protects you against spying governments and companies who collect your data. Click below image for more details and reduce your online digital footprint.

Thank you - opensubtitles.com does not generate the Blacklist removal.
I've changed my bookmark.

it would be interesting to know why it is doing blacklist, for which resource on opensubtitles.org
