Fixing malware detection alerts from WPAD.dat
This Article Applies to:
- Business Hub

In the event you receive constant notifications for malware detections of the wpad.dat
file, consider the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Disable automatic proxy discovery/configuration in browsers and operating systems unless those systems will only be used on internal networks
- Use a registered and fully qualified domain name (FQDN) from global DNS as the root for enterprise and other internal namespace
- Use an internal TLD that is under your control and restricted from registration with the new gTLD program
- There is no assurance that the current list of “Reserved Names” from the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook (AGB) will remain reserved with subsequent rounds of new gTLDs (see here).
- Configure internal DNS servers to respond authoritatively to internal TLD queries
- Configure firewalls and proxies to log and block outbound requests for
wpad.dat
files - Identify expected WPAD network traffic and monitor the public namespace or consider registering domains defensively to avoid future name collisions.
- File a report with ICANN if your system is suffering demonstrable severe harm due to name collision by visiting https://forms.icann.org/en/help/name-collision/report-problems.
If you still need assistance with the issue, please contact Avast Business Technical Support.
