As Intended: hazeleger.net redirected hosts file False Positive

Hi,

Excellent S&D product.

S&D has started to flag http://hazeleger.net and www.hazeleger.net as bad redirected host file entries. Several sites such as McAfee SiteAdvisor (SiteAdvisor.com) and hpHosts (hosts-file.net) reports these sites as engaging in malware distribution.

So far I am ignoring S&Ds recommendation to remove the hazeleger.net entries from my hosts file.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have checked the site and it appears that the only reason why McAfee SiteAdvisor is marking this site as malicious is the download for Foxtool.
This however is a false positive on McAfee's part. Foxtool shows no malicious behaviour and SiteAdvisor does not even flag the original author's website, hazeleger.net is a mirror for Foxtool.

As for hpHosts hosts file, this appears to be a false positive as well. If you use a custom hosts file we recommend using the MVPs hosts file which has very good maintenance.

There appears to be no reason to block hazeleger.net.

OK, thanks

Hope whoever owns http://hazeleger.net clears the "bad" flagging with the multiple sites reporting that they distributing malicious software.

Thank you for the follow up.
