·    Prior to the launch of the Malware Entrapment Engine (before 10.1) some of the MCRC rules had a fix up which was applied once the page was identified as malicious or suspected as malicious. Nevertheless, there are still some rules in the Malware Entrapment Engine that have such a fix up today for versions 10.1 and onwards, but in a much limited scope.

We do still maintain those rules for the 9.2 and 10.0 installations, and the fix ups are being distributed through security updates.
As the Malware Entrapment engine is so much more accurate the need to repair significantly decreased.

The way the system scans IFRAMEs on a single page as a separate component and blocks them did not change.
