AVG flagged my website — how removal works
CATALOG ENTRY VERIFIED 2026-09-21
To clear an AVG false positive on a website, use AVG's Report False Positive form at avg.com/en-ww/report-false-positive: choose Website, enter your email and the full blocked URL, add the detection name if you have it, describe the site, answer the math question and submit. AVG runs the same Gen Digital engine as Avast, so one accepted report clears both. AVG states no turnaround.

What AVG is
AVG uses the same engine and threat data as Avast (both Gen Digital), so a verdict on one appears on the other. AVG takes website reports through its own false-positive form.
What a AVG flag looks like
An AVG 'Threat blocked' alert naming the URL and a threat such as URL:Mal or URL:Phishing.
Why clean sites end up flagged here
- A past compromise — an injected redirect, spam pages, a phishing directory — that the engine recorded and has not re-scanned since the cleanup.
- A file hosted on the site (an installer, an archive) that matched a signature, which flags the URL that served it.
- A verdict copied from another engine's feed, so the flag appears here days after the original source.
- A genuinely clean page that the engine's heuristics read as suspicious: obfuscated JavaScript, a login form, a redirect chain.
How a removal request reaches AVG
This vendor takes website reports only through its own web form, usually with a CAPTCHA and sometimes an account, so a person has to submit it. The form is the only path into its review queue.
The exact portal, the fields it asks for, a template and the reasons requests get rejected are in the AVG false-positive guide.
What unflagdomain does for this vendor
When a scan shows this vendor flagging your domain, your dashboard gets a prepared card for it: the vendor's form, the exact URL, and the text to paste. You submit it; the vendor replies to you.
This is one of 133 vendors in the catalog. A scan shows which of them flag a domain right now; the €39 dispatch covers every one that does.
AVG is an antivirus URL-reputation system: its verdict on a domain reaches everyone who runs that product, and it surfaces through multi-engine scanners such as VirusTotal, where other products and firewalls read it. A past compromise — an injected redirect, spam pages, a phishing directory — that the engine recorded and has not re-scanned since the cleanup. A file hosted on the site (an installer, an archive) that matched a signature, which flags the URL that served it.
Clean the site first and verify it from outside. Then this vendor takes website reports only through its own web form, usually with a CAPTCHA and sometimes an account, so a person has to submit it. The form is the only path into its review queue. The AVG guide on this site has the portal, the fields and a template.
