Bitdefender's Link Checker is marking malware pages as safe
@Alexandru_BD @Flexx
Bitdefender link checker marked 3 harmful links/websites as Safe with a green tick mark.
i ve mentioned the third ones url in the pic above. 3 of the 3 was blocked by bitdefeder when i clicked on those links but as you know clicking on such urls still triggers the risk even bitdefender blocks , that's why the green tick option is provided by the bitdefender.
It's an alarming situation , i found the green tick for suspicious websites before but today when it completely failed to check the links and marked 3 URLs one after another as safe i had to report. plz forward it on high priority to the concerned team.
Here is a screenshot about these 3 links of my Bitdefender central account :

Are any of those false positives, or new phishing sites that haven't been analyzed (properly) yet?

The Bitdefender product is not detecting the website as malicious for me.
Moreover, when analyzed using the Bitdefender TrafficLight web browser extension and Bitdefender Link Checker, the website is classified as safe.

@Flexx @Scott y2mate offers different versions of y2mate websites for the same or different countries , e.g. visiting a single link could trigger a malware attack but visiting other ll not , or visiting from pakistan could trigger malware alert but using usa based ip ll not.
Y2mate was repeatedly highlighted for malicious things by malware bytes , kaspersky & bitdefender on my end.
that site does not attack in the same way, e.g. it could attacks when you visit/when you convert a file or when you try to download the converted file.
Three of the leading security solutions can not generate same type of false positives. i believe that if bitdefender team ll dig deep it ll find my words true & they ll be necessary changes in they Green Tick system.
Anyhow i am not using traffic light , i ve just bitdefender total security and it's vpn installed on my system.
