tkqlhce.com is not malware, should not be blocked by Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List

[Alex9001]

Describe the problem below this line as meticulously and detailed as possible (incl. pagelinks if any)

tkqlhce.com is an affiliate referral redirector used by sites like slickdeals.net (example, links in this thread )

it is not a malware distribution domain, and thus should not be blocked within the context of an anti-malware list. there are certainly other lists which should block it, such as tracker blocking lists, but not an anti-malware list

it is currently being blocked by Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List

Seems to have been added because it was used to redirect from a scam website to a McAfee affiliate page: #287
I'm guessing there was one bad affiliate link (https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-100401187-14437943?sid=df41d215fe9342a5a52fd569fa1b5a8c19660&pid=57311), though interestingly, that link is still online & redirects to a McAfee affiliate page despite the original issue being from October of 2021.

I will doublecheck this weekend how it's being used by SlickDeals, but otherwise I at the time of writing agree with iam-py-test.

Strange observations I've made:

1. Somehow, if a prompt shows up on SlickDeals to ask if you are an EU citizen and you answer yes, the site does not redirect its links through tkqlhce.
2. Presuming iam-py-test's result/example URL is unchanged, I see a possible narrow-down pattern I can change the entry to, even if I am certainly not confident about the reliability or safety of doing so.
