looks like the link was taken down before I could investigate, let me know if you see it again.

Thanks for sharing the feedback, we will look into this.

We fixed the category after you reported this. Thanks again

I looked into it and MB3 web protection should be blocking this as well.

www.abelssoft.de is listed under malware category, recommendation is to void visiting the site. you can still use exclusions to bypass.

according to our researchers, this site is pushing out PUP's and won't be whitelisted until they change the behaviour. you can still whitelist it, using exclusions.

I tried reproducing the steps above, no luck. can you please send me some screenshots, URLs or detailed steps to follow? Thanks

This is fixed now. Thanks for reporting

@digmorcrusher this has been fixed now. Thanks for reporting.

we are using Firefox and Chrome Web Store to push out the updates, just like all other extensions.

it does not call home every time browser opens, we only push blacklist DB when there is a update. watch out for announcement on browser extensions early next week.

Thanks next DB update will fix it.
