MB Browser blocked https://click.email-freepik.com/?qs=5851255c7afbe3ff72155bf1d5231dbdc4f312d12166502004cec8f49223608876908b4dff6ebc3a29ad24b7da9fbcb9f3d9cf67adb9907f52bbcba35f64ecc28ff407d0a97fb8b6 but I believe it might be a false positive.

Thanks, Blender!

@blender Attached are the five ampa.exe files on my system. I numbered them 1 - 5 based on the screengrab of my previous post. Hope that's helpful, so please let me know.... ampa.exe.zip

I just had the same warning and believe it's falsely flagged. It's part of AOMEI Partition Assistant.

Great, thanks so much, thisisu!

Thanks!

When clicking the download link for Mystic Thumbs on the MysticCoder webpage, Malwarebytes blocks access with the following message: Website blocked due to suspicious content. However, the company is legit and there's nothing wrong with the file and I install the program (after clicking "Continue to Site"). Also scanning the installer after download shows it's fine. So, it's a false warning.

Yes, of course, I turn if off when I need to make changes with the Dell app and then turn it on again. Duh! Thanks for the quick and knowledgeable support, Porthos. Much appreciated!

That did it, Porthos! What's the downside of disabling this setting?

Thanks for getting back to me! No, that setting is set to off.

I'm using MB premium 4.5.20.230 and received an exploit warning blocking the Dell Display Manager (DDM) app from trying to change the screensaver settings. There is no mention in the log file of the app but I know it was DDM because I was using it trying to configure the screensaver when MB blocked access and gave off the warning. I went into the MB settings to add DDM to the Allow List but couldn't find the right category under "Add an item to your Allow List."Logfile.txt

Thanks for the quick feedback and fix!

I suspect that MB gave a false positive after today's scan: sonyinstall_x64.dll. This file is part of Sony's Catalyst Browser of which the current version has been installed since November 2020.Scan Log.zip

Thanks, Porthos.

Porthos, your explanation of a throttle causing this doesn't make too much sense because I was on version 4.1.0 and now I'm on 4.3.3. So, quite a few updates in between. Thanks anyway for giving this information.

Got it sorted. I realized that a fresh installation of MB means that it doesn't have a record of any scans having been run. So, I let it do a quick scan and now the alert is gone.

Thanks Porthos. I followed your directions. Of course I'll have to wait till there's an update to see if notifications work but now I have another issue: the alert icon is on and stays on.

Hi, Today I realized that I hadn't received any update notifications for quite a while, so I opened MB. Notifications are set, also in OS (Windows 10), and last update took place today. As you can see, quite a few updates were missed, so I updated manually. Any known reason that I didn't receive any update notifications?

Thank you. Will do.

Hi exile360, Thanks for the quick reply. I turned it off and on again and, lo and behold, the option is available again. Thanks you!

I tried to scan a file using the Explorer context menu but noticed that the item has gone missing. How do I reinstate this option? 4.0.4.49/1.0.19736/1.0.823.

Will do.

Thanks Porthos. Followed your directions and all seems well now.

Using MB Premium 4.0.4.49/1.0.19344/1.0.823. Since a few days, the MB tray icon doesn't show when I start up my computer. At first I just opened mbam.exe and then the icon would show but that doesn't work anymore either. I browsed the forum and followed the advise to open Task Manager/Details. The process was not included so I opened mbtray.exe and the icon showed. However, in Task Manager I noticed a few strange settings for the MB components: they were either disabled or not allowed (see screenshot). That doesn't look right. I also added the mbst-grab-results. mbst-grab-results.zip

Will do.
