    mega.nz download is blocked

    in Chrome

    Posted

    @Envy14 There is nothing wrong with the site listed above, downloads from hosting sites are being flagged by Browser Guard as they are used for spreading malware. This blocking is part of the aggressive protection that Browser Guard provides. 

    You can bypass from the current and future block pages for mega.nz by adding https://mega.nz/ to your Allow List of trusted domains in Browser Guards allow list. 

    Aggressive exe download blocking

    in Firefox

    Posted · Edited by gatortail

    Since the inception of the Malwarebytes Browser Guard (a.k.a Browser Extension), protecting users from malicious websites has been the key goal.At the same time, Malwarebytes Research labs has made many improvements in detection techniques, some directly related to "Suspicious Downloads."If a user attempted to download an EXE file from a website our heuristics categorized as malicious, Browser Guard would block the download and trigger a “Suspicious Download” block page.

    Because more malicious actors are using EXE files to infect users, Browser Guard is also protecting you more aggressively. Our extensive whitelist will help to prevent false positives (FPs) in websites that use domains names (www). However, we do expect a small number of FPsin websites using IP addresses.

    How do I bypass FPs? 

    • Temporary exception can be made by clicking "I want to continue to this site anyway"
    • Permanent exception can be added by check marking "Do not block this site again for suspicious download" and clicking "I want to continue to this site anyway" 

    As always, you can report FPs to the Malwarebytes forums, and we will be happy to help.
