I just had Avast say LTT was an attack page. WTF?

I'm wondering if it has to do with cloudflare. Maybe a site under the shared cloudflare records contained mass amounts of malware making all sites under the specific CF nameservers "dangerous". Cloudflare is known to hide illegal websites after all.

But I don't think google would flag the domains which are using cloudflare?

I've seen alot of this and I'm new as well but I think it is just because of the ads on the forum.

If it were ad-related, all those with ad blockers wouldn't get that warning.  So it's safe to assume that it has nothing to do with ads.

Avast has been blocking my access here since at least a month ago. I finally managed to browse the site without avast acting up yesterday, but just a couple of minutes ago it started going off again. I also got the Chrome page you guys posted.

Something to do with Google as this site shouldn't be flagged.
