Nuisance Security Alerts, goforandroid.com

I just installed the RAX70 router and added the security in the app.  I keep getting a spam alert for goforandroid.com and cannot figure out what that is for.  It occasionally shows for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and frequently on my wife's Samsung S9.  I can't seem to find any information on this and wonder if I should just unblock it.  The actual url is http://abtest.goforandroid.com/abtestcenter/config.

    What does that mean? What "the security"?

    I have never seen any reports here of that one. Which makes it hard to see how your RAX70 is involved.

     

    Where do you see this spam alert? Or is this conversation linkspam?

      The alert comes in through the Nighthawk app, security tab, and pops a notification on my phone. The app was installed to setup the RAX70 router. What is meant by linkspam?

        Hello Automator59,

         

        This is a false positive detection and should be resolved by now. You should be able to access the website without any issues. For future reference, if you run into a similar issue you may report it Bitdefender using the link below.
