[dba-Tech] Stubborn portal

Hi all

As always, just by writing you get an idea. We use Ad Muncher at some workstations to block adds and it works very well. But this site is completely blocked by AM even if it is disabled - you have to unload it completely. Never seen that before.

Thanks for watching!
