Defender needs to be udpated very hard
If you go to translategoogle.com it somtiems redirects to a site that is blocked by defender smartscreen but sometimes it goes to this. http://crashalertbce8cb4a2h9f2e.online/US7JAN17/EOOEdChsjs...
Hey Deleted, just to double check - are you accessing the site exactly as you've written here?
You need to visit translate.google.com to get to Google Translate. It looks like someone has purchased translategoogle.com and is using it for malicious redirects, and SmartScreen is behaving as expected when it blocks the redirects.
For the site that got past SmartScreen, or for any unsafe sites you come across while browsing, you can report it directly via Edge's "…" menu in the top right > Help and feedback > Report unsafe site, and let us know what you're seeing.
One more thing, if I look up to report a bad file or site to the defender team, I can report a tech scam it has an option to put an email to get a response. It would be great if Edge can have that as well.
Thank you,
Shawn

- Nothing is being downloaded by that website, if it did and if it was malicious, it would get blocked by Windows Defender.
- Maybe I need to clarify, that website sometimes redirects to these fake webpages, one has a background of a legit Microsoft page and the other is a MacAfee one. It has tons of poups that is warning you have a virus, it has tonsf fake popups of a scanner scanning nd a page talking this is microsfot please contact the number if you close the tab, you will lose data. I know it is all fake but this is a phishing site that needs to be blocked. I know nothing is being downloaded
- They shouldn't be able to do anything in Edge with all the protection modules in place, just don't download things you don't know.
