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.
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?
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.
