drdas Posted October 16, 2017 ID:1173088 Share Posted October 16, 2017 This morning, many benign sites to which I browse are associated with a popup from MWB blocking a connection to s1.symcb.com. As best as I can tell, this is a similar problem that occurred after a database update in December 2016 that resolved quickly (presumably after another database update) Is this a dangerous site? If not, can we update the database to whitelist it again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clang Posted October 16, 2017 ID:1173097 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm getting the same issue but with ss.symcb.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ried Posted October 16, 2017 Staff ID:1173099 Share Posted October 16, 2017 This block was removed about half an hour ago. Open Malwarebytes and update the database, and these blocks should be gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samoreen Posted October 16, 2017 ID:1173108 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hi, I have a question, though. I have 4 browsers installed on my system (Firefox, Chrome, Edge and IE) and this morning, all were getting these blocks when accessing certain sites. I'm wondering why these browsers need to connect to *.symcb.com , a Symantec site. Is MalwareBytes doing this ? Why ? Is MalwareBytes using information stored at the Symantec site ? Thanks.

hankering Posted October 19, 2017 ID:1174018 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Same issue. Is "symcb.com" a problem connection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
