Avast has marked Post Notification as a Phishing Scam

    `All my post notifications do is give a thumbnail of a wallpaper and then a link to download the wallpaper yet Avast signals this is a phishing email and prevents the email from fully loading. This occurs in yahoo (but didn’t in gmail). The emails I send have the unsubscribe link and required information about who is sending it, even a postal address so I am wondering if this is anything to do with Email Subscribers itself? Is anyone else reporting this problem? The screen shot was pasted in the facebook group. Seems the url that they are warning about is the conduit to send the mail rather than my website. Can you shed any light on this as if this is a major problem if my subscribers think I am phishing?

    Sorry for the alarm. I have since come to realize that avast is doing this to most of my yahoo emails even major corporations and it is obviously their issue with false positives. I couldn’t find a delete button for this entry so I could only add this to the thread.
