pmcjr Posted August 31, 2017 ID:1158982 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I recently upgraded to 3.2 and I believe this issue started then. I am notified of a blocked website by the popup above the right side taskbar just as before 3.2. The change is when I now click on the MBAM icon in the right side taskbar, there is an option to add this blocked website to my exclusion list. Question...how to you remove this notification/option without adding it to my exclusions. No matter what I try, right click or left click, it get added to my exclusions. I then have to go to exclusions and remove it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telos Posted August 31, 2017 ID:1158991 Share Posted August 31, 2017 IDK, I haven't seen this. Did you try the ESC key? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a website has been blocked and you are notified, if you then right click on the MBAM icon, you are shown whether or not the protections are ON/OFF, check for updates, hide and quit options. This blocked website also appears has an option to add to exclusions. As I said, haven't found a way to remove this option without adding it to exclusions. Thanks.

Firefox Posted August 31, 2017 ID:1158997 Share Posted August 31, 2017 @pmcjr if you simply want to stop the notification from appearing all you need to do is turn off the notifications. Go to Settings -> Application -> Turn Off Show Malwarebytes notifications in the Windows System Tray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted August 31, 2017 ID:1158998 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Currently there's no way to remove this from the tray icon other than restarting Malwarebytes. You can just ignore the option though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Settings -> Application -> Turn Off Show Malwarebytes notifications in the Windows System Tray I think this will turn off the blocked notification that appears when a website is blocked and then stays on for the set time, eg, 5 sec. This is not the add to exclusion option that I described in the tray icon. dcollins says above that there is no way to remove it other than restarting MBAM. @dcollins, by restarting, do you mean quit MBAM and then start? If you don't do this, I can see these "add to exclusion" options stacking up in the tray icon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted August 31, 2017 ID:1159018 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That's correct, you would need to fully quit MB3 to get that option to disappear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a yes/no selection for this option might be release feature? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
