I've been entering these competitions for years but today my antivirus has, for the first time, blocked the site for phishing. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.

Hi we run very secure SSL sites and also use a professional company to ensure all attacks on our sites are blocked. We have been on all the sites this morning and have had no warnings come up. It sounds like you may be using the wrong domain (our old one is not secure and is no longer used  but possibly still diverts to our new domains which are secure) or it could be you have a virus on your device that makes it appear to be on our site but it isn't. Please take a screenshot and send it to us - ensure you include the URL of the web page in the image so we can pass it on to our tech team to investigate. Please email notifications@iwcomps.com Thank you

That wasn't my question  (you are potentially using the io instead of the .com as some of the links in the main thread do)

From the main thread a couple of years ago 
(I suspect the redirect has stopped) 

"Simply Media domain changes

They started doing this a couple of days ago and are having occasional intermittent problems but the sites are changing to .com (from .io), sites will redirect from .io for a while

We currently use iwn.io as our core domain, but domains ending .io are going out of favour, so we’re shifting to a web address ending with .com.

@strawberri_shortcake I've just been on there and entered a few, it was absolutely fine.
Some antivirus flag up sites, false positive, I know Avast are known for being overly cautious and blocking more sites than others.
Another thought was if you got an advert that may have an issue, which slipped through the net, but if that was the case, if you tried again, it shouldn't flag it up.

Hi, I've just spoken the tech team and was just about to ask if you were using Avast which is a free antivirus as someone else flagged the same issue coming up on just one of our site (which given all the sites work off the same platform makes no sense). Sometimes these anti virus free softwares can have issues. Just so you are all assured we use the world's leading malware protection company - every single ad is checked before going on our site. Site security is extremely important to us and as such we run a very secure site.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay, I've not long got back from work! Yes, I do use Avast but the issue only started today.

Looks like it might be an avast issue - I use Mcafee anti virus/WebAdvisor and it reports no problems (and that can be quite  fussy)
