"Your Malwarebytes Premium blocked this website because it may contain a Trojan.". It probably does somewhere, although not sure the Trojan will still work today.



Isn't that part of the experience?


Of course (odds are there'd have to be). The question how does Malwarebytes Premium know it contains a Trojan? Does some seemingly intelligent code say 'lots of strange files thus likely a Trojan here' or does it actually analyze the files (given the quantity of files that seems unrealistic, alternatively, it's previously spotted a Trojan in one of the links and remembered it—this is probably the likely bet).


I wonder how far back their detection algorithms go, whether they still have code checking for iloveyou.exe and the like.

I'm sure some of the stuff on there will contain old malware code, likely innocuous nowadays but still in the definitions.


I miss Bonzi


The site is still alive: https://bonzi.link/


That TLD didn't exist at the time or for another 10-15 years.


Just turn Cortana back on and you're halfway there


What's that
