unpire.org blocked as dangerous

[Rich Ives]

My security software is blocking umpire.org as a known dangerous site. Anyone else?

[noumpere]

Yes.

My original IPad opens the site ok on Safari. But yesterday I got a Pegasus spyware infection popup. Wonder if it came from there? Not the infection, just the popup.

What's the antivirus?

LOL, I just think there's probably a common thread for those having issues - antivirus/browser.

 

umpire.org >>>>>> facebook groups though.

Maybe the website recognizes you as a coach?

It's software that's designed to protect the user from attack by malicious outside software programs. But that's not important right now.

Norton sucks. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Oracle Virtual Box virtual machine running Linux for anything questionable (customers send us sketchy links sometimes) and never have an issue. 

 

We also recommend Kaspersky to our customers. Some of them deal in 100k+ transactions regularly. Nobody's had an issue with either of these antiviruses.

 

Norton, McAfee, and especially Avast and AVG overblock stuff. I've seen AVG corrupt Windows to the point where it has to be re-installed. Not isolated instance either. Comodo also is guilty of this. And then there's Zone Alarm, who once kept me from accessing the internet after a Windows update. That's the last day I ran that program.

Looks like an issue on their end - site's been down now. I didn't get it in Chrome w/ MSE.
