beta 6 blocks pcflank

[grizz]

just tried pcflank to run some tests only to find it is now blocked by eset
any reason ? something i missed maybe.

ZoneAlarm used to block PCflank but the runored reason was because ZA could not pass the tests.

something i missed maybe

What did the alert tell you?

i get access denied with the message below

Access to the web page was blocked by ESET Smart Security. The web page is on the list of websites with potentially dangerous content.

The block is not related to v6 beta; all products block access to the site as it hosts malware detected by 37 AVs at VirusTotal.

strange not had any problems using the site prior to installing 6 beta

I see that message also on my VM using Eset V6 Beta.
It does not get blocked by Norton. Ma\y be using some of the links on the page may, but have not tested them.

I was under the impression PC Flank rigged the results of their port scans to show TCP ports 135, 137, 138, 139 as closed and were just a shill for Outpost Pro Firewall.

That's the results I get there when scanning my router, but http://grc.com, http://nmap-online.com, and http://t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ all show them as stealthed or filtered. An nMap scan from my LAN shows them to be filtered too.

I used to frequent the PC Flank forums when they were still open and Randy was the mod, but they've been shut down for ages and the Home Page not updated since 06-MAR-2001, and thought them being outed was the reason for it.

i remember the same ports showing as closed when i did a test there once so i installed outpost as it suggested and it showed exactly the same
it recommended i install outpost
thanks for the replies all, safe to say that site is not much use.
