DBaxter Posted September 12, 2018 ID:1269011 Share Posted September 12, 2018 At first malwarebytes blocked a website for "malvertising" and now it's blocking it for just "malware" a few minutes later. Why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website is trk.dsllgal.com It's a website I've been getting popups on. At first it actually LET ME open it, and it said "Error 404" and after, a few minutes later it said "blocked for malvertising" and then a few minutes later it said "blocked for malware" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryFCM Posted September 12, 2018 ID:1269021 Share Posted September 12, 2018 trk.dsllgal.com is a known ad server, the blocks will be referring to sites it is redirecting to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I'm wondering why it changed 3 times in what was about 10 minutes, first letting me visit it and then saying "malvertising" and then just "malware" ?

MysteryFCM Posted September 12, 2018 ID:1269024 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It will have changed because the sites it was redirecting to, had changed (I'd need to see the log and/or packet capture to check the sites themselves). i.e. first site wasn't malicious, second known for malvertising, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more question: at first it was just "Error 404", if I got that showing up on the actual "trk.dsllgal.com" website, it didn't redirect me anywhere, could that have downloaded malware onto my computer, or did nothing load?

MysteryFCM Posted September 12, 2018 ID:1269027 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) It won't have loaded anything (chances are, either the URL itself was no longer valid, or the content on the site it was trying to redirect to, had been removed) Edited September 12, 2018 by MysteryFCM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
