Slizzard Posted August 2, 2018 ID:1261125 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Have been getting spammed from today by this website: Is this a false positive? my scans find nothing and it pops up from any site I go to even this one. I have premium and its up to date, started happening from 8pm when I turned my pc on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Zynthesist Posted August 2, 2018 Staff ID:1261140 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hello, Do you have that Chrome extension? poperblocker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpy Posted August 2, 2018 ID:1261150 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Poperblocker is a popup and popunder blocker extension for chrome and firefox, and it does a great job of it.....but apparently it and other extensions have been spying on us so mbam now blocks them. I was toying between just adding it to ignore and getting rid but I figured there's probably something similar out there that has the benefit of not secretly collecting my personal and private data. It's not a huge problem, just remove it and find another (adblock plus for ads and popups, but not popunders ) or add it to the list of "stop annoying me about it" things in the malwarebytes settings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slizzard Posted August 2, 2018 Author ID:1261156 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Yeah just read up on it, sad really. I use ublock for adds, I hope that doesnt start collect data. What gets collected just my page history? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
