Does your antivirus still flag BLF as malware?

Hi everyone,

From time to time I receive reports from users whose antivirus or web browser reports BLF as a malware or virus infected site. This is due to the fact that we used to be hosted on a free subdomain at budgetlightforum . cz . cc. The problem is that some other completely unrelated subdomains there (whatever . cz . cc) apparently had malware, which causes some antivirus systems to flag as malware anything that ends or used to end in .cz . cc. BLF has never been infected or even at risk for malware, it's just that some antivirus products use a not very smart algorithm to try to detect this.

If your antivirus or browser gives you warnings about BLF, please do us a favor and contact the maker of the product and refer them to this post. Please ask them to quickly remove BudgetLightForum.com from their blacklist of bad sites.

Thanks a lot!
Have fun.

No

Sophos does not (which is surprising because it seems to break most other things).

Occasionally I get one from MalwareBytes when I'm browsing BLF. As you can see, it just happened..

Would it be possible to search and replace all ". cc . cz" entries (text and links) in the BLF datase through ".com"? Or is that too difficult and dangerous?

I don't. I used to before the site was switched to ".com" but not any longer. TrendMicro.

No. I use NortonAntivirus (yes, I know, NAV is not good), but it does not recognize BLF as a virus

Actually I just did that. :) But I'm not sure if that will help.

Could anyone please post a link to the page that gives you the warning?

Thanks!

Give it some time they don't scan all internet pages daily...

No warnings with Avira Antivir installed.

It goes to ".cz .cc"

I'm not getting an alert from Malewarebytes with that link

I'm not either, but it has a link to ".cc .cz", which Mr. Admin said was just changed to ".com"

Avast didn't like the following thread a few minutes ago: (but it seems to be fine now?)

Never seen one with Sophos - but I am running Macs and there isn't all that much out there in the wild that can mess them up.

Most web blocking/filtering software is pretty useless - a pal of mine who teaches IT in a high school can come up with a list of several hundred new porn sites most weeks that the kids have discovered. And which aren't blocked already. Since the newest malware seems to end up on the free porn sites first....

At least one of my customers with a 6 hours a day porn habit seems to get stuff that nobody else ever does. Or gets them weeks before anyone else does. Tried locking his machine down but then he turns it all off (or manages to break it) as he can't get to see the stuff he wants.

No problems so far with McAfee Web Gateway or WebSense.

I went to the Link from Post #13 5 times + got a Alert from Avast each time.

That web page I mentioned (https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/530) is still infected according to Avast, but not every time I access it.

Here's some details about the infection from Avast.

yeah yeah! ;)

Pr0n addicts need Macs, end of story.
