I can also add it's blocking the logout links as well. Based on what Porthos reported, I think it's safe to say EVERYTHING Yahoo is being blocked at this time. And form the above, most likely true. I just hope none of my client's websites are being blocked, otherwise I'm going to have a VERY busy day today!

There is another possibility too, I guess. Yahoo's been hacked. Hopefully Malwarebytes can figure out which it is and get this fixed soon.

Oh, I almost forgot, this is an issue with the browser plugin, but that option was grayed out and unelectable, so this appeared to be the closest forum in relevance to my issue I COULD post in.

While attempting to login to my yahoo email account, every page kept triggering a malicious site warning, which, given this is Yahoo we're talking about, is highly, highly unlikely, and certainly a false positive, which started up within the last week or so, I'd like to get this issue resolved. The issue seems to be happening across the entire Yahoo site, at least the Canadian version of the site. I haven't tried any international variants to see if any other Yahoo sites are being blocked, but it's blocking the main search page, all login pages, and my inbox.

Thanks for getting this fixed up. Have a wonderful day.

Another update: I added the Easy Cozy site to the allow list for Browser Guard and that site seems to be working normally again without Browser Guard interference but True Viking Finance is still being blocked even with it being on the allow list.

Also, I checked and the True Viking site was already in the Browser Guard allow list when it was still being blocked.

I think I found the log, but please verify it's the log you're looking for. BG-Logs_v2.3.11_2021-10-27_165033824.zip

Also, the True Viking site that was added to an allow list was stored on the main MBAM software, not the Browser Guard extension. I'm using the Chrome version in the Brave browser fork of Chromium, V 1.31.97.

There isn't. It's just linking to a file on the server. BackupWordPress stores the backups as zip files in a folder on the server.

Where do I find the browser guard logs?

I just tested downloading the smaller database backups (also .zip files) from my email provider (one.com) through their online webmail app and had no issues, so it seems to be directly connected to downloading files from websites, or possibly as a logged in WordPress Admin. Would require further testing to determine what the exact criteria are to trigger this security block page.

the files were .zip files. Compressed backups of the database and site files. They're only accessible through the WordPress admin area as a logged in Admin user. I've never had MBAM or Browser Guard block these types of files before and I download them regularly for several sites I manage, or am in the process of developing. So to reproduce it, you may have to run WordPress in a test environment. The site shows about 140 session and 250 pageviews over the past 30 days according to Google Analytics and is at about it's 1 year anniversary, so this is still very much a new domain and business. I also just checked on another client's website and I'm running into the same issue. This site's https://easycozy.ca/ and is also protected by the same on site security as the other site and has considerably more traffic at 610 session and over 1000 pageviews in the last 30 days, and it's been around since at least 2018 (that's when I first connected with the site's owners), so it's not likely site age or low traffic that's causing this issue, but the .zip file type itself. This is probably from an update that occurred within the last week as I performed the exact same actions on the exact same 2 websites last week, on Wednesday Oct 20. The plugin I'm using in both cases to crate the backups is BackupWordPress. I access the backups in the WordPress Admin area, click the download link and the blocked site error page comes up.

I'm a web developer and am contracted to operate as webmaster for the website https://www.truevikingfinance.ca/. White doing routine maintenance operations on the site, I encountered a page from Malwarebytes Browser Guard incorrectly blocking downloads from the WordPress admin area. I was attempting to download backups of the site. I tried to click the button to continue with the download and the first time it worked, but the 2nd time it went into an infinite loop of reblocking this site, and the only way to prevent this loop was to completely disable Browser Guard. I checked my MBAM settings and the site is already manually set to allowed and should not be blocked like this. I know this site is clean as I have security active on the site, including a firewall and daily scans for signs of tampering and there are no signs of any security issues with the site. Please remove this site from any block list and fix the blocked site page so it behaves properly. IE when clicking on the "continue to site" button, it disables this warning and allows normal browsing of the site and downloading of files and not continuously loop back to the blocked page.

Awesome! I just signed up and was about to report this issue. The strange thing from my end is it was happening only when I'd launch Firefox, and I set it to launch to a blank page, no idea how anything would be accessing any website at that time.
