When I tried to see if any updates are available today for Spybot: I get this warning from Kaspersky that I'm being redirected to: old.ccrdude.net.
There are several warnings on the safer networking forums, and other sites when I googled that.
Maybe dangerous, maybe not? :confused:
Until someone determines what exactly this is, I would be careful.
Personally, I chose to block that site.
Any opinions from the resident experts much appreciated!

I recognize the safer networking portion.Quote:
CLIENT-TRANSFER-PROHIBITED
Does the above mean this is safe to allow or not, please?
Thanks for the reply, btw.
Creepy things like this give this surfer --> the creeps. ;)

Maybe that's a backup server of some sort? The name on the registrant info is the name of the main person behind Spybot. I updated and ran a scan with Spybot earlier today though, the only sites that my firewall reported that Spybot connected to were safer-networking.org and spybotupdates.com.
Thanks Syzich :)
I guess I won't sweat it next time, if that even happens.
I had just updated my Kaspersky Labs protection to version 7.0.0.125 so I figured I'd start getting a few of these warnings: I can't tell what 1/2 of them are without asking.
If someone walked up to you on the street and and said: "Schovst You Jack!"
What would your reaction be? :rolleyes:

No worries, sorry I wasn't able to get back on this sooner, sleepy time here in Australia! :)Quote:

It looks to me like it is an alternative server, so I expect it should be safe.
