[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1039406, member: 99014"] Bitdefender for example, according to their SDK information offered to third parties, claims to be sending queries to the cloud. If you dig around, you’ll see that many actually do it. Using local block lists for malicious websites is not ideal for many reasons. There are many of them and the list will have to be updated every second. Then searching every visited website against a massive list is a huge performance impact. The cloud allows for various factors such as reputation, popularity and whois data to be inspected as well. More informed decision is taken. I don’t agree with the author of this post that it is not for a good reason.
