Content Filter bocks http://www.msftncsi.com/

Moin,

content filter blocks http://www.msftncsi.com/ as Malicous Site (31.05.2013). This site is needed by windows to check internet conection. otherwise you will get the yellow triangle.

Sven, I get "Page not found" behind 8.309 and on my iPhone on the cellular network.

This appears to be a CNAME for a1961.g.akamai.net (96.17.203.72 & 96.17.203.75), so I don't see how you got that 31. IP, but it is not responding.

Cheers - Bob

31.05.2013 is the date.

Page not found is OK.
Try to disable your NIC and enable it again. Windows tries to access a text file in this domain.

[:D] Well that's my first mistake this week... Not!

Strange. I too just started seeing the yellow triangle today, too. I'm glad it's not my laptop!

Before my response above, I checked http://www.msftncsi.com/ at TrustedSource, and it was clean. After your second post, I searched in the log file and found that it was http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt that was labeled "Malicious." I've emailed McAfee and submitted a re-categorization request at TrustedSource - Customer URL Ticketing System
