Ai Protection - Malicious Sites Blocking

[TheLyppardMan]

I've had a couple of problems today. I wanted to download an update to the route-planning utility ITN Converter, which I use for creating POI's for my TomTom wireless sat navs. However, initially I couldn't even open the editor, let alone download the latest update. I managed to fix that by adding entries to the Skynet whitelist, but then I found that Trend Micro's Ai Protection was blocking the download. However, on navigating to Trend Micro's URL checker, I found that it lists the download URL as being safe. So I wonder how often the Trend Micro feature on our routers gets updated. As this was also happening yesterday, it's obviously not as frequent as most antivirus software.

I know that this isn't entirely related to subjects covered in this part of the forum, but I thought it might be point of interest to some members, especially if they use ITN Converter.

IIRC the URL checking is hosted remotely off trend micro servers so I assume its the same online database their AV products use. The signature file that is downloaded to the router is for the DPI engine which detects exploit signatures etc.
