  1. It is not infected, it is possessed. Why, otherwise, would I see that Malwarebytes was running on my Pixel 7 Pro without my having taken any actions thereupon since the last time my password was rejected? It continues to run, so apparently whatever was the problem was exorcised.
  2. It is the Malwarebytes account on an Android phone; that is how it is identified in my password manager. It uses the userid and password that I use on a Windows 11 computer. While doing other things, it suddenly occurred to me that the problem could be special characters in the password, so I took a look and don't see any. I then tried to change my password on the computer, which turns out to be impossible, being told that I cannot do that while logged on from the computer, after I had created a new password, inserted the present one and the new one twice. Gave that up, put the original password back into my password manager, saved it, and found that password is still valid. I then opened the app in the phone, to see if I could log on there despite the refusals from earlier. Turned out that I did not need to log on, I already was, and it just finished a scan, Don't ask, I won't tell (I would not know what to tell.) Just another mystery. Yesterday, my Pixel 7 Pro was delivered, so I tried to set it up, only to be told to try later; I did that, phone was set up. Later that day, I was told to install a rather large update, which eventually finished, whereupon I saw that I was supposed to set up the phone. Some sleuthing found that while I was connected to the Internet through our WiFi router, there was no connection to Verizon. I decided to wait until this morning, to see if that had been corrected. It had not, so I logged on to Verizon, where I found that my Pixel 4 phone was still activated, rather than the Pixel 7, so I made a call to Verizon. After some strange beeps and other pre-Halloween such things, I was speaking with an actual person. I told him what I had found before calling, he agreed with my conclusions, so I hung up. Not really, I waited until he could delve into the system, and he eventually removed the 4 and enabled the 7. I went into the Internet page, where I found that Verizon was still not enabled, but just as I was going to tell him that, it was connected, so I made a phone call to be sure the issue was settled. I did ask him about my having been able to set up the phone yesterday; his reply was what I expected, he did not know. Rather like the answer I gave the firefighters when the walls of a cinder block building caught fire. I had no idea. I issued an order to evacuate, requested our only mutual aid department to respond to assist us, and eventually became the most efficient fire chief around: The post office had been looking for a few years for a location for a new post office; when people asked me why I burned the building down (a rather silly question,) I said I did not do that, I had created a location for not only a new postoffice, but a new office for the local postmaster as well, who was the director of the board of directors of the fire protection district. The state testing lab provided the answer, namely that the cinder blocks really were just that: Unlike what are called cinder blocks now, those were made using cinders from the local coke ovens, which produced coke for a steel manufacturer; thus, the blocks had a high carbon content, making them susceptible to burning.
  3. I have checked three times, and the password i use to log on to the Windows and Android accounts are identical, and it works for the Windows software account. It is, however, rejected when I try to log on to my Android software account, being asked to use a proper password. The chat system is a wonderful way to become frustrated, as it refuses totally, completely, even utterly, to deal with this problem. Perhaps some person who has a better attitude than the "I I am Chat, Please Go Away" whatever it is, can assist me. If so, that would be welcome. Maybe this is related to the FedEx Product Return Program, which recently, as I was attempting to use the on-line form rejected the FedEx tracking number from the shipping tag, as well as my telephone number, calling both of them illegal! I did finally manage to get a pickup arranged through the FedEx phone system, the agent setting that up even repeated everything, including that our home street address ends in "Court." Pickup not made, a voice mail explained why, and even gave the street address, which according to the pickup information ended in "Way," a valid address that is not for our house. Agent quickly fixed that, package picked up, delivery acknowledged by FexEx.
  4. No, I did not take a screenshot, which looked "normal", so to speak. The block, whatever it was, has gone away: I checked the site sometime yesterday afternoon, and it was accessible, and is still okay as of a short while ago.
  5. Is http://www.airliners.net actually infested, or is this a false positive? Site was okay 7June2022 around 0700 hours MDT.
  6. Let me try for the third time to get the forum to save/post my report, which is that the update to Paint.net has now been installed with no anomalous behavior.
  7. The download for the free version, found at https://www.getpaint.net/download.html , contains this file, paint.net.4.3.install.anycpu.web.exe ; when that is opened, Malwarebytes intercepts it.
  8. I may have gotten the forum's attention finally: On the fifth try, the message just before this one was posted almost immediately, so I tried again to upload the zip file, which also was nearly instantaneous. I wonder if this will also post quickly....
  9. Original: 19,293,468 Zip file that I cannot, so far, upload, 636,590 (So far, I have tried four times to upload this reply. Forum continues, at least for me, to be quite unusable.)
  10. I give up: I have tried to upload replies, I tried to upload the file here, which failed after quite a few minutes, I have tried to upload the requested file in a private message (that failed after a few minutes), I did manage to post one very small reply elsewhere which took ten minutes. Until the forums are fixed so as to be usable, I am not going to waste anymore time.
  11. "That zip was to be sent to @gonzo in a PM": You even quote his telling me "...to send it me here...", which I could only interpret as a reply, which is why I tried to do what he said to do. I've never sent a PM on this site, just found out how to so, so I will try after posting this.
  12. I have noticed over the past few days that submitting replies to messages in a thread I started take much longer than I would expect. Today, it is even worse: I wrote a 406-word reply, and attached a 621 KB .zip file of the requested Browser Guard log; this failed for an unknown reason. I then removed the file upload information and tried to submit the text file; after perhaps five minutes, instead of seeing my reply as a posted message, I saw the "Submit Topic" again. To add to my aggravation, I submitted basically the same text as just above to support@mail.malwarebytes.com . This resulted in "The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly." Total waste of my time.
  13. Second try: First time, message never saved, and when i refreshed the page to try again, Submit button did nothing. Thanks for the explanation. I shall see if I can get the log to you in the near future. I used to live in Crested Butte, Colorado, the 9000 MSL entry; now we are outside of Santa Fe, NM, and the USGS topo map shows a 7000 MSL contour line running through our garage; as the floor of the house is only a few feet lower, I think my claim of being at 7K MSL is close enough. Alma, Colorado, 10,578 feet, population 270 at the 2010 census, is considered to be he highest incorporated municipality in the United States when considering only areas with permanent residents.
  14. I venture to guess that you are at a low-enough altitude that the block did not occur, unlike me at 7000 MSL (and that is well below my previous elevation of 9000 MSL.) So be it. I just clicked my posted URL, which worked properly, and even tried (for the first time) the link to the same video from inside PaintShop Pro with no interception. Why it happened once for me and not again, and never for you, shall forever be unknown.
  15. The issue is rather simple, when I clicked on the link, Browser Guard intercepted it and warned me not to go there, a false interception, as stated in the title to this thread. Yes, the page loaded correctly when I told Browser Guard to let me go there, but BG ought not to have warned me of a threat that does not exist.
