Identifying the sources of danger

[bjm]

@FatBear

I’m not actually asking about that particular domain. I’m asking how do I know which website or browser tab called that domain. I cannot find that Norton supplies this info and without it the warning is useless.

Hello @FatBear

I hear ya’…and you’ve submitted false positive report here…and if you do not agree with Norton…try adding Norton 360 Safe Web exclusion…if you do not agree with Norton.

Um, if you’re seeing “this message” here every time you open your browser…the warning may not be useless.

Example, right now there is a popup on my screen that says " We prevented your connection to globalupload.io because it is a dangerous webpage. Threat category: URL:Blacklist" Wouldn’t it be nice if I knew which of the half-a-zillion browser tabs that I have open was making that call? But I can see no way to do it. So I have to see this message every #*$() time I open my browser.

Did you clear browser cookies n cache?
Do you run browser sync?
Did you recently install any program / browser extension?
Did you recently allow push notifications?
Did you recently change site permissions?
Did you run Norton Full Scan?
Did you run Malwarebytes Scan?

Were my machine and I wanted reassurance.
I’d ask Malwarebytes Malware Removal Help Forums [here] to check my machine.

Do you know if you had globalupload.io or guardiandatasystems.com tabs open?
