MS Windows Defender and DeCSS

I had to get signed permission from our IT contractors to disable it. But then again, I was trying to get a PDF of a Categorical Logic paper from an Italian university’s website and the filters kept blocking for pornography and sending emergency messages to the contractor to audit my computer.

Sounds weird... Do you know to what extent those are correlated? That is: is the contractor told every time the filter thinks it has found adult entertainment? Or was your case exceptional?

This reply is really delayed, but our office rather small and so the contractor is notified and the event logged every time the filter thinks it blocks adult entertainment. I was being stubborn and repeatedly trying to access the site via other directories, link patches, etc. and that’s why the contractor was actually notified in real time.
