Clients virus programs warning them to a phishing **** when clicking links created by WHMCS

[kerrya]

I've tested this on my own system and clients have told me of problems when trying to pay an invoice from a link generated by WHMCS. The payment method is PayPal.

 

The virus program stops the Paypal page from loading with a warning about a PayPal (b) phish problem. This is using a Chrome browser and AVAST anti-virus.

 

It makes me believe that somehow my WHMCS system is infected as when I go to to log into my Paypal account directly, everything is fine.

 

Any idea what's happening here?

 

Any advice appreciated.

Kerry,

 

is it changing the invoice links used in the emails and/or website links too?

It only seems to be when clicking on a PayPal button inside an invoice. I've attached a copy of the warning message.

A virus scan of my computer and a scan of the website by my provider has found nothing.

Kerry,

 

i'd be inclined to think it's a false positive from Avast...

Interesting. Thanks for the links.

 

I'm going to check with the clients.
