Avast antivirus blocking access to dnsomatic.com
The Web Shield component of Avast antivirus is blocking access to dnsomatic.com, classifying it as a malware URL. This happens in both web browsers and my update client. I've reported it to them as a false positive, but they are yet to remove the classification.
