tinyurl

ZoneAlarm seems to regard tinyurl as a malware site. Does anyone know anything about this?

The usual issue between security software and tinyurl is that tinyurl links redirect to other locations and some of those other locations can be sites you wouldn't want to go to so if a security program is trying to determine the safeness of a domain in general, it can't assure you that a tinyurl address is safe to go to.

That makes sense, thanks. Now, if I can only find the control that lets me override ZA's judgment on this one....
