I didn't update and problem went away on it's own. Must have been an internal problem?

What is going on all google is being blocked and I am using the paid version? I tried in Firefox and Chrome, so it is not browser related. Works fine on phone, so not Google. Also, Malwarebytes, says I am up to date. Maybe Malwarebytes been hacked and has issues?

This isn't a big problem and thank you for your quick response.

This website https://www.lrsrecycles.com/ gives me an error : Potential Threat Blocked The following website appears malicious 120.72.95.94 Port 54929, category is Trojan , type outbound connection, domain is N/A and using Firefox This is a valid company, wondered if this is a Malwarebyte false positive?? I get the same Malwarebyte error is I do a traceroute or a ping. Since I am trying to do business with this company I am not sure what to do? Malwarebytes says it is up to date, 4.5.9.198, update package 1.0.55676, Component Package 1.0.1689 and last updated 6/1/2022 I don't get any Malwarebyte errors on my Android tablet (all worked well) which also runs real time protection, but uses Duck Duck Go browser. Wouldn't think browser would matter as I don't use any browser plugins on computer with Firefox or tablet with Duck Duck Go.

Thanks, will watch closer on next Malwarebyte update and do a reboot after. I most likely do a reboot once a month as might do some Microsoft updates? Then again, I never do them right away. When there are released, unless I am experiencing an error they are suppose to fix, I hold off updating. When I worked as system software tech on IBM mainframes we had a saying something like being on the leading edge of releases can also be like the "bleeding edge"- it can be painful. I retired in 2004, but still have memories of applying fixes too quickly after a release. I have made some changes to group policy that I can bypass being forced by MS to apply their updates, so I always hold off updating. Sometimes I have went months without updating MS. But like you mention, I still do some clean up work and reboot around once a month, just to clean up the system. Most of the time I do try to have all applications stopped when running a manual custom scan, so I could remove that priority. The 2am daily scan runs with no one on computer, browser would running and might be doing some automatic reloads, but at that hour I don't care about priorities.

I was reading a post that has been closed, but had questions. For the most part I take the default settings. Do you more experience users see any issues with these changes? I do change Tamper Protection so a person has to enter a password to make changes. I turn on Scan for Rootkits, figure all that does is add a little time. I added an application to Manage Protected Applications under custom. Only show notifications if threats are detected. Changed manual scans to take less priority. BTW when I noticed that Malwarebytes switch was off to start Malwarebytes in the background when Windows starts up, I noticed this today after I updated to Malwarebytes 4.5.4. I did a reboot for another reason and noticed the icon was not is system tray. But could have happen before that update and I just didn't notice. I rarely reboot, this computer pretty much runs 7 X 24 for last 5 1/2 years- except when on vacation.

This is a fine site and you allow the liberal blogs, but don't seem to like the conservative sites.

This is what I am on and not getting the false positive:

Had two Trojan.Crypt on last nights automatic scan, I told Malwarebytes to stick them in Quarantine whie I check this out. I reported to Malwarebytes and they turned out to be false positives as I suspected. However while I was checking around I found the two files that Malwareware said were Quarantine and show up as Quarantine, but they still were in the Garmin directory. No harm done since they were false positives, but when they are in quarantine, wouldn't think they should have been left in the directory structure. File names below: C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\GARMIN\EXPRESS\NEWTONSOFT.JSON.DLL and C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\GARMIN\EXPRESS SELFUPDATER\NEWTONSOFT.JSON.DLL

Thank you, since they really showed up still in the Garmin directory I did a custom scan of just that directory and it didn't find any errors. Yet in Malwarebytes these two also show up as being in Quarantine (they are the only 2 in Quarantine). So it doesn't look like it really did the Quarantine, aren't they supposed to be removed from filing system when being put in Quarantine?

They been on computer for a long time and all of a sudden Malwarebytes find them as Trojan.Crypt. Also I have not updated Garmin Express for many months, I believe last August was last time. C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\GARMIN\EXPRESS\NEWTONSOFT.JSON.DLL AND C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\GARMIN\EXPRESS SELFUPDATER\NEWTONSOFT.JSON.DLL UPDATE: I had Malwarebytes put these two in Quarantine anyway and they show up as in Quarantine when running Malwarebytes. However they are still showing up in their original file location when I go looking with explore with date modified 4/22/2019. Strange.

Thanks, have now updated. I have considered letting Webroot run out, have about 3 more weeks on current license. Am hearing MS virus software much improved, guess I could give it a try and figure out how to set up and use. I do kind of like Webroot application protection where I can assign applications that get protection to insure personal data is not extracted without permission. Then again, I am still thinking of the old MS virus software, understand now much better.

Yes good Idea.

Finely gave up, each email exchange took 5 - 6 days. Toward the end they were going to add 19 days to a 3 license version I had. I asked them to just drop the issue. Wasn't really that concerned about the 19 days, I just wanted them to tell me what I did wrong so it wouldn't happen again- they just didn't understand. I would bet it is having a 3 license the last couple years, then putting in a 5 license got everything confused. I decided on five license to give one to granddaughter.

I am running Webroot Secure Anywhere version V9.0.29.52. Also running Malwarebytes Premium Version 4.2.0. Should I leave Malwarebytes option Always Register Malwarebytes in the System Security Center turned on? It is on by default, but it almost sounds like it might override a Webroot function? Now the Webroot people will tell me to turn that switch off, but I don't really see any reason why. This is what Webroot folks say: I would not show MBAM in Security Center as Webroot is your main AV and Security!
