I am using thepiratebay.org but my virus checker is preventing access.
Obviously, I am using a VPN, but no luck. I last used Pirate Bay about 3
weeks ago, with no issues.

Thoughts?

Uninstall it, it also places spam links at the bottom of your mails and
usenet posts.
TPBs website itself is no problem, but be aware that some torrent
contain malware.

Which one ?

At which stage ? When you load pirate bay in the
browser or does it prevent the download starting ?

I dont, because my RSP shares the IP amoungst users, forget the name
for the moment and google isnt any use for the name unusually.

I had pirate bay open in Chrome and have just started a new download fine.

I just opened a new pirate bay tab and it opened fine.

I am using Defender on Win7

Using my VPN no trouble accessing!

He needs to check his history to see if he is being redirected to a
unsafe site by a installed "PUP"

摘verything that defines us is now an enemy,
so they attack national identity, they attack religious identity,
they attack gender identity, they attack family identity.
I can稚 define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother, no.
I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2.
I must be a number, because when I am only a number,
when I no longer have an identity or roots,
then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators.

I don't use VPN because it's clearly just a commercial enterprise.
I use the PirateBay though the availability of movies is less than the
old days, and with fewer seeders. Same goes for apps.
