Hi, my daughter is interested in the MP3Search.ru website, and we have been able to navigate to it in the past. But recently I have installed ZoneAlarm and AdAware/AdWatch on all our computers and we now cannot get to the site.
I get the page saying that 'the website is unavailable, check with your admin.... etc.'.
I can only navigate there if I shut down Zone Alarm (swallowing hard). But no modifications that I can find will allow me to load the site with ZoneAlarm running. Even opening the firewall completely, with the program still running doesn't allow it.
There is evidence to suggest that sites like this (especially Russian ones) are involved in credit card fraud.
Think about it: if they are offering songs for $.10 wheras the RIAA is pushing iTunes when they are selling at $.99, there has to be something not quite kosher going on.
This is likely why Zone Alarm blocks the site, because it isn't safe.
I forgot to mention that she would be using a 'gift' card with just a limited amount of money on it--not our own cards.
But I think you're probably right. The new Internet security version that I'm running has an automatic spy site blocker. I also wonder if they block illegal sites.
It's just that searching ZoneLabs' site for 'MP3search' came up with nothing at all.
If it looks iffy, i prefer to err on the side of caution. I'm certain there is a reason why Zone alarm would block it, and i doubt it's because of copyright infringement.
