hopper15 Posted December 4, 2016 ID:1076833 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I noticed something similar yesterday when Malwaresbyes blocked sv.symcd. But mine was listed Outbound, C:\Program files(x86) Dell/SupportAssistAgent\bin\SupportAssist.exe I'll be pretty surprised if that's not a false positive.

I got the exact same thing when I started downloading Origin today. I was reinstalling Origin and MBAM popped up saying it blocked a malicious website.

Staff Dashke Posted December 4, 2016 Staff ID:1076923 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, Please update your database and it should address the FP. We are blocking sv[.]symcd[.]com for Adware.BrowseFox and Adware.BundleAssistant Edited December 4, 2016 by Dashke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsnDogs Posted December 4, 2016 ID:1076951 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hello, I had the same issue, which was promptly addressed: And another thread with the same issue concerning sv[.]symcd[.]com: Apparently sv[.]symcd[.]com is not a false positive? Sorry, I am just trying to get clarification since I use Origin as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dashke Posted December 4, 2016 Staff ID:1076955 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I am really sorry for the confusion, I thought it was regarding s2[.]symcd[.]com! sv[.]symcd[.]com is still blocked for Adware.BrowseFox, Adware.BundleAssistant.

Oh, crap! Now I got two more pop ups and I didn't even launch Origin. Stupid EA! Why does it keep doing different exe files? So EA is trying to install adware on our computers?!?
