It seems to be a bad link you have posted as I'm getting a cannot reach this page and Windows can't find the problem.

Depending upon which browser you are using, you can install Adblock Plus or µBlock Origin.

I'll let you Google for them, but some websites detect that you are using an ad blocker and you have to allow that site before it will let you view it.

Link is almost certainly 'good' but correctly blocked by hosts, Malwarebytes, adblocker, etc.

I don't have any ad blockers on here or the Premium version of MBAM and Norton would have told me if it had blocked the site.

It was Windows that said it couldn't reach the page and it gave me a fix connection button.

Are you able to connect to it - I'm using IE11.

I get 'Server not found' with my hosts enabled, 'The connection was reset' with my hosts disabled.

That's longhand for "I can connect now."?

If so, it's likely a routing/DNS issue, there's been a recent change at server level and not all DNS servers have refreshed it, or some routing server is down, maybe something else - it's not my forte.

I thought it was shorthand for I cannot connect now :D

I have my adapters set to use Google's DNS severs, but the troubleshooter says it cannot find the reason why it cannot connect.

Many useful tools on that site;

Hope you can connect now or try another PC or browser

Seem the recent malware attacks are an attempt to drive people to the cloud!

Well I don't know what the problem is because I get the same cannot reach error in both IE 11 and Edge on two different machines.

You might want to check that with Malwarebytes.

If I can't get it with two browsers on two different machines then I'm not going to bother looking for a VPN to use.

Hi, rick please see the screen shot of the site of your referred link

Title: Re: Backdoor malware encounters

I see five good reasons illustrated in your screenshot not to recommend that site without a warning not to download/install anything from it first.

Hi, Satrow,
                    I have not downloaded anything from the site. I only tried to open the link , which the OP raised in his query at the first post and it opens for me. I never download anything from suspicious sites.

The site is blocked for me  :cheesy:

Not sure who to thank? OpenDNS, or one of my filter  lists on uBlock Origin, but it shows something is doing it's job  :wink:

Hi, Samson, I am having google dns in my router setup? Probably it would have been blocked by country administrators of web
