Malwarebytes suddenly blocking URLs from reputable sites; not IDing them

[LizinPa]

Twice in the past two days Malwarebytes has prevented me from accessing a reputable website via a link in an email. For example, today I could not access my American Express statement via a link in an email from AmEx. For years I routinely used these links with no problem. What is most frustrating is that I get only a screen that says "Malwarebytes blocked a suspected bad URL or an unwanted program." There's a link to click for more info, but it just takes me to a generic page -- https://www.malwarebytes.com/lp/ip-blocking/?ipblock=true -- and does not provide me with the URL or IP that was blocked, so I can't add it to Exclusions. When I go into the reports in Malwarebytes, the protection events are not listed chronologically -- really irritating -- and if it's an outbound connection that was blocked I can't see the URL to which I was trying to connect. . . . so I can't get the info for Exclusions there, either. What's going on?? I did enable beta versions of Malwarebytes; maybe something changed very recently? I've had premium Malwarebytes for quite a while and this has not happened before. Any suggestions about how to deal with this would be very much appreciated.

You're using the beta, which has some known issues with Web Protection. I would recommend reinstalling the latest stable version by using mb-clean from https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb_clean

Thanks! That seems to have solved the problem.
