1tech Posted November 15, 2018 ID:1281130 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Can a company sue MWB for blocking their website? Having a blocked website ruins our reputation and blocks customers. Asking for a friend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted November 15, 2018 ID:1281138 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Greetings, I'm not a lawyer and that's who you'd probably need to ask to find out for certain, however I am aware of this court case, although that was dealing with the classification of an application, not a website, though the circumstances and judgement may be relevant given the situation. If they do wish to take legal action then they will probably need to contact/have their lawyer contact Malwarebytes (I believe the email address is legal@malwarebytes.com, though anyone from the Malwarebytes staff may correct me if that is inaccurate). Other than that, you/your friend may submit a report here on the forums to request a review by the Malwarebytes Research team if you/they believe it is a false positive and the team will investigate further and respond, including whitelisting the site if they find that it is indeed a false positive and doesn't meet their criteria for blocking sites.

exile360 Posted November 15, 2018 ID:1281148 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I also just found this more recent case which should prove even more relevant as it deals with blocking/detecting a piece of software as well as vendor's website, though again, I don't know the details in your friend's site's situation so it may or may not be relevant.

Solution dcollins Posted November 15, 2018 Solution ID:1281324 Share Posted November 15, 2018 As answered, any legal queries should be sent to legal@malwarebytes.com. Locking this thread as that's the best answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
