Report Blocked Website

[geekGirl999]

Hey Guys,

I just want to report a website that Malwarebytes blocked using Firefox when I was going on Yahoo. Below are some details from the Malwarebytes log. I also attached the actual log from Malwarebytes below. This happened when I temporarily disabled AdBlock in order to test out another browser extension for my email account.

I also ran adwcleaner and also Rogue Killer, but they didn't find anything, so I'm assuming everything is ok and Malwarebytes is just doing it's thing. Has anyone else gotten this pop-up?

As a matter of fact, I actually did remove two PUPs using adwcleaner before this happened as a result of downloading an extension for my Firefox browser which is an an ad blocker for my Yahoo mail account. I should tell the developer about this, but I'm only assuming it was from this. There were two entries in my registry keys that adwcleaner found. The name of the extension is called Yahoo Mail Hide Ad Panel. The log from adwcleaner  is attached. The adware was removed.

AdwCleaner[C21].txt

OK, yeah, it's possible that the PUP/adware got bundled with the hide panel extension as bundling is a common way for PUPs to get onto systems these days.

If the detections/blocks do persist and Malwarebytes and ADWCleaner don't detect anything else in their scans then you can either try resetting your extensions in your browser or you can follow the instructions I provided above for posting in the malware removal area and they'll track down any remaining traces and guide you in eliminating them.
