You anti-virus (or Firefox) is screwing up is all.

clams--i can't agree. Avast antivirus has been rock solid reliable for me for years. as for the browser being the problem, a comparable inability to download the latest version of Any DVD occurs with Chrome as well.

It's not FireFox. Disable Avast 'shields' temporarily & it will allow the download. You should also report the false positive to Avast. Ran into this this morning.

Actually I don't think it's the av this time. I remember reading something a few days ago that 'let's encrypt' had some hardware problems that would affect certificates. And let's encrypt is what RedFox uses.

The procedure I describe allows the download. When Avast is disabled, the download worked just now. Avast reports the detection as 'URL:Mal' when blocking. It appears they are detecting the URL only, without consideration to how it resolves. Once downloaded, it scans clean.

Exactly.........
Avast still thinks it's last week - when a malicious party hijacked that URL for an hour or three.

PS: Get rid of 3rd party anti-virus - Windows Defender now rules them all.

Please try to ping redfox.bz in a Windows command prompt:

ping www.redfox.bz

It should resolve to 93.190.142.127

Next, please check the website certificate in browser while on redfox.bz. In Firefox, enter CTRL-I, Security, View Certificate and check the "Expires On" date.

If both is okay, it's most likely a "false positive" by Avast (after our DNS got hi-jacked last week for a several hours and malware was served on a malicious server somewhere in GB).

edit: corrected TLD

It is not our
antivirus. I have the same issue. redfox told me I was the only one person with this issue. I can't view any redfox.bz site.

Please try to ping (howto ping) to www.redfox.bz

It should return the IPv4 address 93.190.142.127 (or, if you are connected with IPV6 2a00:7c80:0:71::8).

If you get a different address, you should reset your router and flush DNS of your Windows PC (howto flush DNS) and check again with ping

I see you are able to view this site and this is a RedFox.bz site. Try Ivans advice to you.
