Avira's website hacked ?

[KaptainBug]

I am trying to launch avira.com but it redirects to some other page, and WOT and Norton DNS flags it as malware. A member at wilder security forums also experience the same. So what's happening with avira ?

Its redirecting automatically from avira.com. Don't know if its only region specific.
also, http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/avira.345492/page-75#post-2373923

http://www.avira.com/en/index is also getting redirected for me.

This is a common problem when using secure DNS services, they all have high false positives.
The main reason that I will not use them, in the past just about all of them flagged by own website as infected when it is perfectly clean and don't even host any files on my site and the codes used are from Jcink (a trusted free forum software based on Invision Power Board).

My recommendation is do NOT use secure DNS services, most of them have privacy risks.

Enjoy!!

Yeah, it was Norton DNS causing the problem. Removed it and its working fine now.

Norton is causing this problem, WOT detects the domain with the alert as malicious.
