Bogus Hotmail virus update

Just a question regarding the adblockers. I don't personally use extensions; it's a thing of my own. But, I'm wondering if the adblockers can access the https content?

I ask, because I use a hosts file to block ads and trackers, and if using hotmail in https session, the ads are displayed. So, the hosts file is useless in this case.

 

I am just curious, were you referring to the Thread that I started or a different Thread?

I am not 100% sure on that I have not really tested around much with HTTPS.

Yeah that was the thread I was thinking of, just did not want to go and dig it up.

 

Looks like MS SmartScreen Filter has finally caught up with the offending web page...

 

I wonder what will be coming next? Let's recapitulate:

1) ads pointing to exploits;
2) redirection to a fake hotmail domain tricking users into install malware;
3)

You know what they say.
