Since I updated a few weeks ago v3.4.5.2467

[cificare]

I get nothing but not 11 or 2 or 3, but maybe 4,5,6 & 7 pop ups like this. (pic attached). I think it's great they are being blocked BUT it is a real pain to try to read a page I go to all the time to check bank statements, CC accounts and such. Is there a way to turn them off but still have them block the site trying to see what I am looking at?

Greetings,

To start with, a new version of Malwarebytes has been released, version 3.5.1.  Please install it either by opening Malwarebytes and navigating to Settings>Application and clicking Install Application Updates or by downloading and installing it from here.

With regards to the web blocks, I'd be quite nervous about seeing web blocks related to fraud when accessing a site where confidential financial information is retrieved.  This could mean that their site may be infected, assuming the site you're using is legitimate which means that even with the web blocks, the site itself may not be secure and could have been hacked.

If you wouldn't mind, please review the information posted here and here and then create a new thread as instructed by clicking here so that one of our Research team members can take a look and explain what's going on with the site and why it's actually being blocked in detail.  I just want to make certain that you aren't risking exposure of private financial info to criminals/hackers by using the site in question and it will also allow our team to inform the site owners of the issue if it has been hacked as they may not be aware of it.

Thank you....I did do the update suggested. I will pay more attention to the later. Now, I didn't want to "block" anything from getting. I meant through asking, I see no reason it has to pop up telling me that. MWB can block them but keep them hidden until I want to see what was blocked. This way it's not blocking the corner of the web site with all of the pop-ups.

[exile360]

You can disable notifications, at least while you're browsing that way it doesn't pop up and get in the way.  To do this, open Malwarebytes and navigate to Settings>Application and toggle the setting Show Malwarebytes notifications in the Windows system tray to Off.  You can review any blocks/detections by opening Malwarebytes and either clicking the little bell shaped icon on the top right next to the My Account button or by going to Reports and then sorting the list by date/time to review the most recent entries.

Thank you again. I saw them but do not know what they actually mean. I should have played around with some of the settings

[exile360]

That's OK.  In this case, they are blocking connections to the website mentioned in the pop-ups due to fraud, which means it apparently is participating in some kind of scam or deception.  That could mean that the site you're using has been compromised but I don't know for certain which is why I suggested checking with Research to have them verify it.

[cificare]

I did what you suggested and WHA-LA, no more pop ups;) TY

[exile360]

Good, I'm glad to hear it.  Just remember that you can always check your history and alerts in the main Malwarebytes UI if you want to see what's been blocked in the past, and you can always turn notifications back on whenever you want to if you need them back, but otherwise Malwarebytes will continue blocking the bad stuff silently for you  .

Yes, I know that one. I see the red numerals when doing a manual scan.
