worth noting many of these security software companies get their phishing site lists from third parties, someone is probably mass reporting .win to these third party malware/phising site list aggregators and it may not be a concious decision by the antivirus company they are aware of.
Only way to tell is to see how they react when you report a false positive and ask to have it whitelisted.
sheep wash
My avast blocked GAW last week. I had to turn off the web protection in order to access this site again.
Me too, Imma not a happy camper about the sudden assault, but now I know to use them and by ignoring the red letter warning, they might get the idea-I weaned my laptop off of the AV. then we'll see how the built in works..
its basically only shills and doomers there anyway
