[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 835487, member: 32260"] This situation is very rare. Usually, AVs blocks URLs (false positives) when the website hosted something malicious (hacked website in the past) or hosted something that was wrongly recognized as malicious. I am curious how Windows Defender will score in the upcoming False Alarm test. The total number of false positives (URLs + files) in the current real-world test is rather high, but there is no information about samples' prevalence. [/QUOTE]
