You got me there (latest definition updates). At least we know that it was a false positive after all.

I understand. My concern and question would be how tinyurl can be manipulated to spread malware... A malicious redirection? A Hijacked Clipboard?

I'm sorry for the wait, but tashi (Team Spybot)...

I see a bunch of HOSTS.backup files..

I can view the HOSTS file fine through WinPatrol.

The see the page normally. The ads, pictures, colors, text, etc. you get the picture. I'm not sure what's...

Not strange. Just pure observation. It did load.

Tell me. How did SDHelper "block" tinyurl.com?

How?!

Yep, tinyurl . com loaded in Internet Explorer.

I guess that'll clear some, thanks Tashi.

I haven't tried to visit the site with IE&SDHelper. I'll do it now.

Are you sure about that? I can visit the site and do not have "tinyurl . com" in my HOSTS file.

What counter? You mean SDHelper?

blues, I have to disagree. Unless that link was in the HOSTS file, then we would not have been able to visit the site at all.

Spybot does not really "block" access to the site, but in most cases...
