I got a similar result here but in FF, but was due to NextDNS was blocking it...

When loaded in Brave, it was past ControlD native malware filter.

kaspersky experts didn't check properly first time?

 

[harlan4096]

They only checked the main URL I reported... it's impossible to check everything inside a domain...

I am using the same DNS for both Brave and Edge.

Could you please go to

DNS leak test on both browsers and check.

I suspect it is uBOL; it is the only thing different in Edge compared to Brave.

Yea it is not DNS. You can try disabling uBlock and see if you can access the website

Webroot detected Technitium DNS as malware. I uploaded the setup to VT and only Webroot detects it.


I will report the FP to Webroot

Malwarebytes Browser Guard flags it as suspicious and reports it.

I am doing the dirty work. I am reinstalling Windows. I blocked driver updates from WU by editing the registry (I created 4 reg keys in cmd) during Windows installation. I don't want WU to install generic drivers.

For now I am keeping NKT OSA. I still have not decided about Webroot yet.

One more thing, I ditched AOMEI for O&o Diskimage 21 Premium.

Now I am downloading 1.8GB of drivers using Dell Command Update.

It seems I will install the following.

1- MD (default settings)
2- WFC
3- NVT OSA

Still have not decided what to use for web protection

I know I can enable MD Web protection, but I will skip it. Instead, I will either use BDTL, or just harden my Adguard DNS.

How to enable MD web protection, and how to harden your AdGuard DNS?

How to enable MD web protection, and how to harden your AdGuard DNS?

To enable MD Network Protection

Spoiler: MD Network Protection

Set-MpPreference -EnableNetworkProtection Enabled

As for Adguard DNS hardening, I am researching the following to add to Adguard lists
1- HaGeZi - Threat Intelligence Feeds
2- HaGeZi - Multi PRO
3- Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List

Are you referring to the premium version of AdGuard for Windows?

No I am using Adguard DNS (Personal Plan) which is included with my Adguard VPN subscription.
