    I got a very unusual alert from my antivirus program on an intrusion from what appears to be the Clam AntiVirus program.

    Code:

    I have this error too.
    Antivirus software is Norton Security.

    This seems like a likely false positive. I would guess it has known URLs for AV software like norton and clamav stored, and if it sees a URL with that name that is not the official site it could trigger IDS. This is most likely not a cPanel issue, probably a false positive from a feature meant to protect people from all the fake AV scam websites.

    Hello :)

    The URL in question is not abnormal. You could review /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log to verify if the offending IP address is a known user (e.g. there are previous safe entries under that IP).

    Thank you.
