  1. I'm getting the same message from MWB on multiple page on dailycaller.com using Firefox.
  2. Which would be fine to me, because I switched to Firefox to avoid having my every more tracked, except that most sites won't work now if they can't track you. It's just a mess. If you don't use a bunch of fake accounts with VPN these days you can't do scheit without having ads spewed in your face for male enhancement products. I'm about ready to go offgrid.
  3. Ah, and the odd thing about that is that I have a friend that is constantly here, always using my PC skills, as they are, to get them by, and I recently convinced them to move to Firefox instead of Google Chrome, and they're telling me they aren't having the same issues on Chrome that they are on FIrefox ..... so now I'm confused about that part of the symptoms.
  4. So, I'm only seeing a correlation in time .... (except that I started getting the "Volumetracker" messages en mass on my Daily Caller and The Daily WIre in the past 2-3 days?) Maybe they are unrelated, but the HomeDepot and, I also recall a short visit to Walmart.com doing similar this morning when doing a quick check for a new microwave prior to the crack of dawn. So, since you're ALSO on real-time Premium, that tells me someone added a signature file or similar at Malwarebytes this a.m. I was up at 5:00 a.m., but in Texas and on Central time. It's good that we report all of this. Malwarebytes has had some real screw-up recently, like the 2+ months ago that almost shut us all down, but they fixed it quickly and they were quick to respond and they were very TRANSPARENT about what happened, which matters to me, as a semi-retired I.T. person. I don't like this, but I'm not dumb enough to bail to "PC Matic" nutballs when Malwareybes has saved my rear-end soooo many times over the past 12+ years. But that doesn't mean we should be complacent and not hold them accountable ... especially us that have paid for the Premium and been with MWB for many years, as affordable as it may seem. If it doesn't work and messes up our systems too many times, like totally rendering my my mid-to-high end Dell laptop nearly unusable two months ago, that's NOT cool. I don't worry so much about myself, because even though I'm much more of a large system IBM type DB person and NOT a "desktop" person, I can usually figure my way out of these messes, including the WORST, being MicroSoft upgrade s-k-r-e-w-u-p-s!!!! What REALLY upsets me, is the number of people that don't know what to do, that panic, that call me .... or even worse ... those that don't know anyone at all to call. Ya know what I mean, Guy? And we know, if you have a major malfunction with Malwarebytes, were down to the forum discussion, and that's pretty much all we have in support.
  5. I run a Malwarebytes auto-update/scheduled scan everyday, and have for over eight years on multiple laptops. Yes, it is likely related to an update, but a scan is after the fact ... but I'm on Premium 'real time", so maybe that applies or does not to you.
  6. I'm having the same issue, just viewing tile pictures on HomeDepot.com I get a nearly constant warning on the same site.... to the point where the site is almost unusable, and I'm getting a similar message on my news sites like Daily Caller and The Daily Wire, just not as often, and naming Volumetracker instead. This could be a good thing that Malwarebytes is doing for us, but it's definitely being flagged much, much, much more recently. I have checked/cleaned my system with latest versions of Junkware Removal Tool (JRT), Adware Removal Tool, and then the most current freeware version of CC Cleaner and still getting the same results. If these are legitimate, I appreciate Malwarebytes flagging them. If not, then I think we need a "fix". I use primarily Firefox browser, but have had to turn on 3rd party cookies in order to get most of my websites to operate properly. Any insight or new information would be much appreciated on my end. Thanks.
  7. Hmmm. So much for that suggestion. Hopefully a MWB tech will jump on here to help you. If you have MWB Premium you should be able to call for support.
  8. You do have the option to exclude them, but I had no way of knowing that it was a false positive and it was not a link I was explicitly clicking on .... it was program generated, I believe they said from a Dell service module, in fact I was getting the blocked message even when all internet browsers were closed, and I wouldn't want that transmission going through without validation from Malwarebytes that it was a false positive. These viruses can hijack the most seemingly innocuous functions on your system and turn your life into a living hell. Malwarebytes has saved me more times than I could count .... I'll take a false positive once in a blue moon over a trashed system. An error or the side of caution beats the heck out of fdisking your hard drives and reinstalling your whole system, right? ; =}
  9. Using the version linked to above and hitting "cancel" to the newer version update prompt works on my Win10 64-bit system. It ran fine w/o any blue screen. BTW, the "*.azurewebsites.net" blocked message I kept getting was reported as a false positive and Malwarebytes has fixed that issue.
  10. So, Zynthesist .... Should I take from your response that 1) the web blocks from my MWB Premium are a mistake and being fixed, and 2) that my system blue screens with AwdCleaner is a separate issue, (which would be nice to know, because I've had viruses attempt to disable your software before ... so far they haven't succeeded well), and that I should track the specific thread dealing with the AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 release separately? I'd appreciate confirmation on both of those questions. Thank you for being here to help and being so responsive. We appreciate that very much.
  11. I just downloaded the latest AdwCleaner because of issues I'm having with an apparent virus that keeps trying to connect, and thankfully blocked by Malwarebytes (MWB) Premium, to *.azurewebsite.net, but it blue screen crashes my Dell and it takes two power re-boots each time to get my system back up .... which thankfully is still coming back up, but I can't fix the detected problems on AdwCleaner w/o crashing my system with "critical process failed" .... and MWB Premium full scan found zero issues and MWB Junk Removal Tool (JRT) already cleaned the two issues it found. I'm still getting the *azurewebsite.net outgoing blocks from MWB Premium runtime ... which is a good thing, as this is apparently related to the recent "ransome-ware" viruses. The problem is that they are still happening, and I don't know what their creepy fingers are doing to my system in the meantime. I'm just glad I was running MWB Premium, because McAfee doesn't see any frigging problem and the skies are blue at McAfee.
  12. To "tfnine" ... It was actually me that reported that I have found some hits on this with Drudge and Yahoo Mail specifically mentioned. I added Daily Caller, as I've been there more than any other site today and they use that "Outbrain" source hosting site that also is known and reported as carrying malicious viruses recently.
  13. Here are my results from my Malwarebytes Junk Removal Tool (JRT) scan/clean: File System: 1 Successfully deleted: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Tasks\PCDEventLauncherTask (Task) Registry: 1 Successfully deleted: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\0211241500484558mcinstcleanup (Registry Key) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scan was completed on Thu 07/27/2017 at 20:37:17.05 End of JRT log
  14. I'm getting the same constant MWB site blocks. I have 55 blocks in the last hour, 3 for the "stannum-sub" at the beginning and the remaining 52 for the "daws". I first tried running the newest update of "AdwCleaner" and after three tries I gave up because each time, after finding 3 - 1 problems, it gives me a Dell blue screen of death and tells me that a critical process died, collects data, and then I have to power-restart twice each time to get my Windows 10 system back up. (At least it's coming back up ... for now.) I ran a full MWB Premium scan, including rootkits, and it comes back clean with zero threats detected. I'm not trying AdwCleaner again, as I am pretty sure it's just going to crash my system again ... BTW, that is the first time I've ever had a crash or issue with AdwCleaner and I've been using it for years. Now, I'm going to try running MWB's JRT. Any advice of what else to do??? Also, I'm guessing from some other discussions I'm seeing that there's a chance I picked this up either on Drudge, Yahoo Mail (AT&T) or on Daily Caller. That is where I was online before this started.
