I was interested in taking advantage of the malicious website blocking feature provided by Malware Bytes, and I was ready to purchase the MB software this morning, but then I discovered this website blocking feature is apparently not working.
-- I confirmed that I had website blocked turned on by following these instructions
-- I tested the blocking function using your IP test page
...and I received the following test page message: "If you are able to reach this page it means that IP protection is disabled on your machine."
In addition:
-- I've tried on multiple occasions to find a way to toggle "Website Blocking" on from the MB icon in the system tray, and neither right or left clicking does anything.
-- I've found several posts in this forum indicating this function is not working.
Is there a bug in the system? If so, where can I follow status updates on the fix?
Is there a way to troubleshoot the problem? If so, what needs to be done to activate this protection?
Thanks,
Metta
How do I tell if Malwarebytes is actively blocking malicious sites?

Thanks, Firefox, for your prompt and helpful feedback!
I appreciate your warm welcome and your support -- and before beginning the reinstall process, I have a couple of quick questions I should probably review with you first:
-- I am currently running a free, full trial of MB which is within 3 days of expiring. If I clean my computer using mbam-clean.exe as you've recommended, will this allow me to reinstate the free, full trial all over again?
-- I am also running a few other security and remote access programs, and I wanted to make sure there is no known MB conflict with these apps:
` PCTools
` Spybot
` CCleaner
` Carbonite
` DropBox
Thanks!
