Dublin70 Posted December 8, 2017 ID:1190173 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I keep getting malicious/blocked site msgs from MWB for these things. I don't know what they are all about but they keep happening. Today about 20 of them showed up even after I closed the browser. I don't want to exclude them but would like to take them off the blocked reports. Is that ok to do? I don't understand as I go to the same sites all the time (every day) and nothing shows up as malicious - don't know what to make of this. Thanks.

Aura Posted December 9, 2017 ID:1190227 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hi Dublin Which web browser and what website(s) are you on when you get these notifications? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted December 9, 2017 Author ID:1190327 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hi - I am using Chrome. Various sites - One is called Drudge report. As I said, I go to these site probably daily and don't get these alerts from MWB. Thanks. Can I erase these alerts from my reports? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dublin70 Posted December 9, 2017 Author ID:1190353 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Thanks. I will post again if I get anymore of these. Fortunately, MWB is blocking any malicious stuff they may do. What do they do if not blocked? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dublin70 Posted December 9, 2017 Author ID:1190358 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yuk. I used Opera this morning and same thing happened. Also, the site I went to is Turtleboysports.com. Not Drudge. Thanks for info. Is there anyway to stop this or am I out of luck for that site.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted December 9, 2017 ID:1190388 Share Posted December 9, 2017 uBlock Origin should block the Coin-Hive and CryptoLoot .js scripts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted December 9, 2017 Author ID:1190391 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hmm. uBlock -- is that something within MWB or another type of software. They are being blocked but the blocking message just keeps coming up -- like 20 or 25 times at one sitting and I have to shut down the pc to stop them. Thank you.

Aura Posted December 9, 2017 ID:1190396 Share Posted December 9, 2017 It's a web extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en Basically, uBlock Origin will block the JavaScript library for CyptoLoot and CoinHive from being loaded. Which means the script won't run, the connections to malicious domains won't occur and therefore Malwarebytes will have nothing to block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
