| So i have kaspersky and have the web protection. I clicked a link and saw that it said "dangerous link has been blocked" and it keeps happening ever since i clicked on that link. Does this mean that any information that link was trying to get was blocked? Im starting to get a little worried about it. The browser i was using was firefox |

| Is it happening with popular sites that it definitely shouldnt? like a link to google. I dont know what their requirements are for a suspicious link but its most likely just that and if you trust the site you should be able to white list it. |

| It is prob just a way that kaspersky filters websites. The website prob is collecting cookies or some other backend thing that isnt going to be harmful but kaspersky's filter picks it up as harmful. Shouldnt be a problem if the website has a good rep. |
