I have been using Adlice Software's UCheck program, the paid version, but there is also a free version, for almost two years. It is very fast, easy to use, and provides updates for a wide range of programs. I highly recommend it. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil HONESTY DISCLOSURE: Adlice Software did provide me with an initial 1-year complimentary licence for the paid version. When that expired, I purchased a 2-year subscription to the paid personal version for both of my computers.

@Oktayyc This issue has been discussed in these Forums previously; see this link. As long as your CPU usage drops within seconds, I would not be concerned. I hope this helps. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

@Tweaking-Jim I am a daily visitor to your site and first reported the FP here and let Tom Boggin know about it. I have not been blocked in some time, perhaps two or three weeks, from visiting Tweaking.com. From what I can tell the FP issue has been resolved. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

Thank you @gatortail. Have a great weekend. Regards, -Phil

I came across this topic over at G2G and clicked the link. MBG blocked it and told me that the site had a trojan. I ran the URL through VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/eef1e7588788c5138c99961e9c59e0bd5a40068893c3458c7e2bf2492b0dffaa/detection I am not familiar with this product, but this appears to me to be an FP. Used Chrome Browser, latest version, on Windows 10 Pro x64, Build 1903. Thank you and have a great day. Regards, -Phil

@AdvancedSetup Ron, thank you for the update. Since this FP is so random and intermittent, it is going to be difficult to find the "trigger" for the FP. Happy hunting! Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

@AdvancedSetup Ron, I just got blocked again earlier today by MBG when I tried to go to tweaking.com. MBG had been working correctly for about a week. I just tried again now, and MBG was not triggered by going to tweaking.com. Any idea when the team will nail this elusive and intermittent FP? Thank you and have a great day. Regards, -Phil

@sdmf74 I have not had any issues with the former ransomware warning for SmartSwitch since July 2018. To my knowledge, the problem was fixed over a year ago. I switched smart phones in January, and my "new" phone (Samsung Galaxy S7), which I backup weekly using SmartSwitch has never triggered a warning on either of my computers. Are you having issues with that warning? If so, you should provide full details of your phone and the version of Malwarebytes for Android that you are running. Have a great weekend. Regards, -Phil

@AdvancedSetup Ron, thank you for the update. I was not blocked this morning when I logged in to the site. I was blocked just now when I tried again. This a really weird issue. No problem. I will wait for the fix. I just tell MBG that I want to continue any ways, and it permits me to get to the site. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

@AdvancedSetup Ron, it is still being blocked this morning, when I just attempted to login. Weird bug that seems to only be intermittent, the worst kind! Have a great day. Regards, -Phil

@AdvancedSetup Ron, I logged in successfully to tweaking.com this morning without any issues. I visit that site daily. Just now, I tried twice and was blocked both times by MBG. My computer is shut down every night (Fast Startup disabled). When I start my computer in the morning, I have Chrome clear its browser cache (Ctrl-Shft-Del) before commencing surfing. This "bug" seems to be very intermittent. I do have Chrome syncing with my cellphone. I wonder if that might be a possible cause, though I cannot see why it would? I am running the latest version of Chrome - I check for updates every morning, before clearing the cache. I am running Windows 10 Pro x64, Build 1903, fully patched and updated, including that monster optional update from last week. Security is Bitdefender Total Security (2020) and Malwarebytes Premium 3.8.3., fully updated, including yesterday's component build update. Thank you for you for looking into this. Have a great weekend. Regards -Phil

@gatortail I went to tweaking.com twice today in the last hour, and MBG gave me that same error both times. I could whitelist the site, but it is a reputable site, so, in my opinion, this is an FP and it should be fixed. Thank you and have a great day. Regards, -Phil

@gatortail I am glad that I took a screenshot, because I just tried again to reach tweaking.com's Forums after reading your reply, and this time there was no MBG warning. Go figure! ??? Have a great day. Regards, -Phil
