Network shield malicious sites
« on: January 28, 2009, 08:09:36 PM »
Hi,
avast network shield gave me few warning that it has blocked connection to some maliciuous sites ,it displayed the site name and process svchost.exe

I serched in forum and found one thread  to it , saying it is over 20days unless you ares ure you want to reply start a new thread, so i have started a new thread.

how avst decides that a particular site is malicious and it displays the site name and process name I am totally confused the error message is as follows

27.12.2008  23:57:53  Network Shield: blocked access to malicious site dns://www.themoviedownloads.com [ C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe ]

some body please throw some light on it

Thank you

adi

The svchost.exe is purely the messenger doing its bidding, it is what gets the dns IP address details for the domain name .

So were 'you' trying to connect to the wXw.themoviedownloads.com site, e.g. you clicked on a link for it.

WOT (Web Of Trust) doesn't like the site either, http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/themoviedownloads.com, just check out that page and you will see why avast doesn't like it either

02.02.2009  11:38:37  Network Shield: blocked access to malicious site 91.205.111.50/freeporn [ C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe ]
Ask to creators investigate in this one.

I don't know ???
But, itself word freeporn did not filtering (therefore, with slash [/] site did not blocking). Please, add this to black list in network shield.

What I'm saying is that we don't have any blocking record to the site you mentioned, slash or no slash.  ;)
