confusedbloke 0 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 URL shortener site in question: https://tokenfly.pw/medhQB 1st part of site with an "enter the words" CAPTCHA is fine according to NOD32, but after entering the CAPTCHA and the page refreshes (the URL is exactly the same) NOD32 blocks it. anybody have a virtual machine or a sandbox to determine if there's a false positive in the 2nd part of the site or if it's safe to go through anyway? thanks in advance.
Administrators Marcos 5,441 Posted March 22, 2019 Administrators Posted March 22, 2019 It appears that a lot of ads pop up on the site and the ads urls are blocked. I don't think a normal page should contain more ads than necessary. It's definitely not a behavior desired by users.

It's definitely not a behavior desired by users. sorry for that, these URL shortening sites are riddled with those since that's how they make money apparently. uBlock Origin takes care of 99% of the ads if you have it installed. but the problem is after entering the CAPTCHA I get the "HTML/ScrInject.B trojan blocked" screen. I need to get through this blocked screen and I'm wondering if there actually is a trojan on this page or if it's a false positive and I can pause NOD32 protection with uBlock Origin still doing work.
Administrators Marcos 5,441 Posted March 22, 2019 Administrators Posted March 22, 2019 I'll look into it, however, I'm afraid that without unblocking the aggressive ad domains it won't be possible. confusedbloke 1

CAPTCHA's job is to make sure they separate Human visitor from a Bot visitor , it doesn't protect you against malicious contents.

It appears to me Eset is detecting something on the captcha web page and blocking it. My experience with such an occurrence is there might be other malware attempting to be served up from such a web page. So proceeding to enter data, etc. on that web page is done at your own peril. What you can try is suspending uBlock for that web page and observing what Eset detects on the web page. confusedbloke 1

Then your problem is with the website after you have been verified as human and taken to the next page and then you get that address is blocked or somekind of detection , then the malicious content is within the page you are visiting , CAPTCHA has nothing to do with it. with or without it you are going to get the same thing.

No I am not repeating what have been said before in earlier posts , I thought you had a trouble understanding the CAPTCHA and how actually it works , so I tried to describe it to you with my words , all I tried to do is help , it seems that I was no help , it's fine , don't go mad over it
