@smed79, By looking at their screenshots, @p1r473 meant winaero.com, not winaero.org While the *.org one is inactive, winaero.com is indeed blocked and it is a website about tweaking.

Sorry yes winaero.com @smed79

Please report to the appropriate upstream list. @Wiggum127 "hosts" in this case.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.

This was indeed a false positive. It originates back from a merge with remembertheusers.com/files/hosts-ms. At that time flagged as doing telemetry and unwanted tracking. I have disable the entry in my hosts file.
