A lot of bands/singers are using shortened URLs to make it easier for their fans to access certain parts of their websites without typing in long URLs (ex: http://abcdefghjklmnop.qrz/tuvwxyz).

The website: whydntwe.co is a shortened URL that is supposed to redirect to the website for one of my favorite bands: whydontwemusic.com.

When I attempt to access this website, with antivirus enabled on my family's Deco M5 system, I get a message saying Warning: Dangerous Malware TP-Link HomeCare has blocked access to this website.

I also get this message if I try to access whydntwe.co/ something, like whydntwe.co/newmerch or whydntwe.co/trustfundbaby

See video here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HHFEPIysp7Vp3i7J_N1pxdAd6NlpJUuf/view?usp=sharing

At the bottom of the page it says Know this website is safe? Report to Trend Micro and, when I click that link, it takes me to: https://global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com/index.php

On that page, I enter whydntwe.co and get a message for the website saying that the site is safe.





I checked the Deco app and there doesn't seem to be a way to add website exceptions to the antivirus settings.

My family does not want to disable antivirus protection for our Deco M5 system.

Is there anything else I can do so this website is is not blocked on my family's Deco M5 system?
