stephenj20 Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028621 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I think its a bug if we all are getting it at the same time, or maybe a virus just got spread worldwide... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insecure Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028622 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've tried numerous things, but the damned pop-ups won't go away. Wake up, MalwareBytes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannaninmaclir Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028627 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Running now every 10-15 seconds I get the popup "Malicious Website Blocked..." varies between various sites ending in gstatic.com. After running mbam 2.2.1.1043 nothing adverse detected, so looked on line and found numerous links saying it was spyware - execept - these all link back to web sites promoting "Spyhunter 4" - a MBAM competitor of dubious integrity. So still none the wiser - can anyone from MBAM give us the answer? THANKS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMB Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028632 Share Posted March 25, 2016 It hasn't stopped. Go back to a Google property. It will start up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhorlo Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028654 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I updated my Malwarebytes db from v2016.03.25.02 to v2016.03.25.03 and the popups went away. Try updating your databases to see if that fixes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skits Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028660 Share Posted March 25, 2016 It started doing this for me this morning as well. It looks like it may have calmed down now. What a way to start the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028667 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I had updated my to v2016.03.25.03 and it continued....it has finally stopped for me. Looks like a third party FU! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LethalBacon Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028675 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I've ran a CMD netstat scan for IP(s) that may be inboxing me, you prob did the same. its going crazy with odd IPs!! and I think their taunting since some of them have the title "could be any of 244.com" ssl.gstatics is reported as a method to help bandwidths for clients but in many more links its classified as a hijack method that spams ADs Sites and what not. successfully 95% of people removed it with Spyhunter4 an anti-spyware. with the spam of IPs its rhetorical that this ssl.gstatics is a threat to your security, faster connections on google or not, its not safe. since its being blocked its yet to enter your PC using the Google.exe that launches google. so I doubt Spyhunter4 will remove something yet to be allocated on your virtual memory. maybe its relevant to those who have had the infection, but that would mean that it would spam back again since some server out there has to have your IP to trace and spam you.

NancyK Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028676 Share Posted March 25, 2016 It started happening to me this morning. I decided to do a Malwarebytes scan and it quit. I hope it stays away. When you look it up on the internet you find everything that says it's a virus attached to your browser. Hope we get something official from MB.

paulhoog Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028678 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Issue seems to have popped up for me after updating MWB. Nothing to panic about, unless you are concerned about Google tracking your activities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalBacon Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028679 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Malewarebytes scan wont find an issue since its not yet installed or traced IN YOUR computer (yet). so it will just have to keep blocking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insecure Posted March 25, 2016 ID:1028681 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm telling you, LethalBacon, that it just flat out stopped. It stopped before I updated to v2016.03.25.03. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
