when trying to download material from a variety of sites such as novamov, vodlocker, videoweed etc, I notice they all call mightycdndelivery.com to retrieve the file, but the files retrieved are always corrupt and although I can start watching them, they cease up after 12-25 minutes of playing and just jump to the end.

I'm not sure whether this is a virus of some kind, or whether it's something used by firefox or actually by the sites in question, but I just want rid! Can anyone help me please? Thanks

Hi ros12345, You are going to need a dns blocker or content blocker for the specific sites.

However keep in mind that it will break the functionality of the download in those sites in the future.
