konzserwas Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 once in a while i get a pretty strange message from my security software. It's like "you computer was prevented from accesing blah blah blah...." This only occurs when i'm on tip.it. I had this for a pretty long time now so i'm sure i don't get this if i'm not on tip.it that filter's description says that "it blocks you from accesing known spyware web sites" Has anyone else got anything similar? Any chances that I have some virus-thingy, which is trying to open a pop-up or something? Or is it just my firewall gone mad and blocking innocent stuff? Here's teh blocked url DON'T GO THERE, that's just for folks who might know this site (the url actually doesn't look like spyware, more like some adversiting stuff) :roll: [hide=][Censored for time being][dot]com[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 That site is not bad. The reason why it's flagged is because people create domain names leading to spyware infected sites, and they ruin it for everyone else. I'm telling you right now, that site is safe because I use it myself sometimes if I want to have a shorter URL. Just my thoughts. ~Killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 [Censored for time being] is a URL shortening site. It isn't a spyware site, although it could be used for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 People also use [Censored for time being] a lot when they want to hide URLs with affiliate links.
