Malwarebytes Browser Extension Beta

[TheGent]

Why am I getting a warning from Malwarebytes about Malwarebytes Browser Extension Beta? It pops up when I open Google Chrome.

[Utomo]

Can you explain more what is the warning ? 

I think it is good if Malwarebytes can have browser extension to improve the security. 

example : when we open  https://businessguideoffer .com and others sometime we got some attack 

example from website above is coinhive we need to stop this kind of malware before infect our computer

I received an invitation from  Malwarebytes to test their Browser Extension Beta. I downloaded it and applied it. Now I am receiving warnings about it from Malwarebytes, themselves. Since talking to someone would resolve this far too quickly, I turned to the Forum, thinking that someone from Malwarebytes would deign to answer. Either they sent this out or they have an evil twin, imitating them perfectly, that did this. In either event, it is in their best interest to get to the bottom of this. We'll see. I can't even show you the warning page. Malwarebytes won't let me; pasting it causes an error. What a joke.

Can you try using a different browser to post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

[TheGent]

I'll try that the next time it occurs - it did not, this morning. But please answer a question: is the Malwarebytes Browser Extension Beta something Malwarebytes did?

[dcollins]

Yes it is, here is the proper link to the Chrome Web Store page to verify: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee

Appreciated. Please forgive my irritation. but a phone would have resolved this. If I get the warning again, I will screen-print it here. I tried to copy and paste, but I realize that would have put an active link here. Which is what a trickster would want. Have an amazing day.

@TheGent please take a screen capture next time it shows up. 

are you using MB3 premium with RTP turned on?

[TheGent]

MB3, Yes - not sure what RTP is - I have gotten the warning, again. I screen printed several to my OneDrive - which is now malfunctioning. The links are gone. Not sure what is going on, here. I'll see if I can get it to you. 2nd part - yes, RTP is on. I rebooted to see if the warning came up, again. it did not. Found it! Sending it now.

@TheGent I see that you are running CC Cleaner, there is a known bug with CC Cleaner which is corrupting our extension. CC Cleaner is rolling out a fix for it soon, should fix the above issue.
