ruthless4645 Posted November 19, 2017 ID:1184320 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm using Malwarebytes 3.3.1 in the last few days I've been blocked by Malwarebytes from entering the 680news.com website, this is a daily newspapers website site I've been visiting for years. Why has this just started happening?, has there been a change to this program?. Need some help (yes I know how to "exclude" a website but I'm concerned as to why this has just started happening now after being able to access this website for years without any problems. Oh, BTW I've scanned my system just now and it's as clean as a whistle!. Thanks for any help.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted November 19, 2017 ID:1184364 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Make sure your DB is up to date. I have no issues reaching the site. Does the site not come up at all or do you see blocks while the site is open? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site will not open, get a white page and a green box pops up saying "website blocked". Seems to happen when using the new Firefox 57... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
