ingber Posted September 16, 2014 ID:879622 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Why would MBAM block a URL given with a tinyurl.com address, but NOT block the expanded URL (given by a Chroem extension Unshorten.It!)? It seems that MBAM does not bother to see the actual underlying URL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Spud Posted September 16, 2014 Staff ID:879624 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Neither the tinyurl.com domain or the IP it's housed on are blocked. Please update Malwarebytes and try again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Spud Posted September 16, 2014 Staff ID:879626 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The URL leads to dealsup.info (not blocked) hosted on IP 37.1.196.225 (Leaseweb) which was blocked due to a plethora of maliciousness and fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingber Posted September 16, 2014 Author ID:879644 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think I recall that some VPNs use Leaseweb. Is 37.1.196.225 specifically blocked, or all of Leaseweb? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
