I've been being hit by messages from a website that needs to be added to your security blocking software.
The site is: atrisk-security15.com and it completely locks up the browser so that the only way out is to bring up taskmaster and force the closure of the browser (I'm using Google Chrome).
 
Can it be added to the security blocking list?

Hi hncamp
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Well, checking out the site's reputation over at Brightcloud I find the following


Now whether that is enough for an automatic block is a moot point.
 
Unfortunately there is no way to flag a website as 'bad' and so get it automatically blocked by WSA...usually WSA will recommend avoidance of sites that are categorised as risky or bad and one unblocks and whitelists them on the local machine.
 
If you want to flag up a potential site for a chaneg in reputation, either way, all you have to do is to head on over to this site
and complete the form provided there in...it is quick and simple and should go directly to those that handle the reputation side of WSA's site blocking.
 
Hope that helps?
 
Regards, Baldrick
