[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 764617, member: 32260"] No. It is not the miss or the flaw. The full url to the malicious content can be blocked and the user can be protected. This is the same behavior as for on-access file scanning performed by many AVs (WD for example). If you have the malware hidden in the 'c:\Users\Me\Appdata\Local\Temp\malware.exe' it will not be automatically detected by WD, when opening 'c:\Users folder'. You probably do not call this a flaw. When the user opens the link [COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)][B]hxxps://malwaretips.com [/B][/COLOR]then the possible malware attachments in [COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)][B]hxxps://malwaretips.com[/B][/COLOR]/threads/14-09-2018-18.86745/ will not be loaded (even if they would not be forbidden), so the user cannot be infected. When the user will open the malware attachment, then 'Network Protection' can stop it by the blacklisted full link. I think that some other malicious link blockers can work similarly. [/QUOTE]
