[False Positive on browser extension for Firefox]

Malwarebytes Browser Extension for Firefox, updated on March 13, 2019, detected Clickbait on a website on my home computer. A friend using a corporate computer with corporate firewalls did not get a warning. This is the website below:

[80.93.62.118 False Positive?]

This same program, Balabolka, is listed on MajorGeeks (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Balabolka_d6587.html) and CNET (http://download.cnet.com/Balabolka/3000-2170_4-75182534.html) websites. Malwarebytes blocks the authors website http://www.cross-plus-a.com/index.htm saying it is a potentially malicious website, and gives the IP address as 80.93.62.118. It also says Type: Outgoing. Port 50636. Process Avastsvc.exe.

One of the mediators at the MajorGeeks Forum suggested I report this as a possible false positive.

I am using the purchased version of Malwarebytes version 1.65.1.1000 with DataBase version 2012.11.11.03.

I am also using the purchased version of Avast Internet Security version 7.0.1474 with Virus Definition version 121111-0.

Thank you,

Dan
