198.98.183.62 was first reported on October 22nd 2021, and the most recent report was 35 minutes ago. Deep down there, though, it still works as previously, merging is mostly a GUI issue. This IP address has been reported a total of 4 times from 2 distinct sources. AVAST has assured Pogo that we are safe and the reports will disappear within the next 24 hours. Our team has investigated the issue and the reports of Pogo being unsecured are false. The old network shield and old web shield were merged into Web Shield, as we know it from the current versions of Avast, as a means of simplification. Thanks again for all of your reports of the URL blacklist issue that youвЂ™ve been experiencing. When Avast sees a suspicious code, it shows a popup with whatever was suspicious: this includes all JS: and HTML: detections.ДЄ strange crossover is the HTML:Iframe-inf, HTML:Script-inf, etc - this means a blacklisted domain is being loaded into an otherwise clean domain. Then we have the old 'Web Shield', which actually checks the inside of the page (the source code). This was the old 'Network Shield' - checking if the URLs are blacklisted. If the IP is blacklisted, Avast would show something like '104.28.20.53' when displaying the popup. If the domain is not blacklisted, Avast lets your browser check the DNS for the IP, and then tests the IP. Compare with Mimecast Web Security Compare with URL Filtering for Web. If the domain is blacklisted, the Avast popup shows the URL entered in the browser (so if the user entered '/logov2.jpg' and '' was blocked, Avast would show '/logov2.jpg'). Compare Avast Business Secure Web Gateway vs ORACLE Dyn DDoS Protection with up.

URL:Mal or URL:Mal2 detections both mean the URL (either a domain, subdomain, path, IP, or any combination of these) is on our blacklist.
