C'mon Ms -- this is rediculous
Hi folks
I don't know what games Ms are playing at but this is absolute Bovine Scatology.
Centos web site -- (Centos is one of the most used server systems on the planet - based on Red Hat Enterprise server and supported by Red Hat itself) reported unsafe which is total nonsense.
I'm all in favour of sensible security - but throwing this up for a well known and easily checkable website for genuiness just makes me distrust the whole "security" systems of Ms.
From the Centos main site itself I need to get the latest iso
when I click on DVD then it throws up ?????
(tried same thing on Linux box --no probs !!).
cheers

No problem using FireFox on Windows 10 to download it!

Hi there
agreed -- you can even override this warning on Windows
My beef wasn't that I couldn't download the iso but this warning shouldn't have been thrown at all -- where on earth or who(m) ? reports "unsafe websites".
If data is this inaccurate perhaps the whole A/V industry is nothing but Snake / Alligator Oil.
I'm experienced enough to ignore the warning but what if you just wanted to try out a few of these other OS'es out as Virtual machines or even on a test system and you were a relative noobie.
That's my grouse --not that it's "not gettable aroundable"!! but that warning shouldn't have been issued in the first place.
Cheers

There might have been a suspicious script or a malicious AD, some reporting is automatic based on robots.
Try to open this one: Mirror List

Hi,
Yeah smart screen filter for an os = brilliant move
Should of left it in ie11 and edge so we can simply not use either lol

Hi there
I think all you guys have missed the point.
Of course one can download iso from mirrors etc etc but I still want to know who warns or reports sites as "malicious" - and if this site really were (was?) problematical then I'm sure Red Hat / Centos would have fixed it or warned about it.
The whole point of this post was not to solve the problem of how to download the iso but how a noob etc could be totally put off by these incorrect warnings.
Nothing wrong with security -if it's implemented properly -- but how is it that a "bona 100% legit website" throws out that sort of warning whereas another site (not blocked here BTW) flying the old "jolly roger" with the second part of its name like the bay in ebay is 100% OK --Go figure !!!
Cheers
