All right - I just created a Win10 VM from scratch, installed MBAM premium and Chrome.   Went to ATT.COM and, sure enough, got the same warning from MBAM.  I wasn't even signed in to Chrome. 

This is obviously a false positive / bug in MBAM.  I regret that this has wasted so much of my time.  This needs to be addressed immediately.

In my 30+ years of being an IT professional, I have found that when I submit a valid problem/bug with software, it is invariably met with silence by the vendor.  This tells me that it is, indeed a bug in the product - certainly the case here.

The question here is, has the company not responded because they are hard at work fixing the bug or are they simply ignoring the customers problem in the hope that they (the customer) will go away?  How dare a customer demand that their software actually work?!?

This has nothing to do with chrome sync.  Yesterday I created a virgin Win10 VM and installed MBAM, then Chrome.  WITHOUT SIGNING IN TO THE NEWLY INSTALLED CHROME, I navigated to ATT.COM and MBAM threw up the same warning.  MBAM has all of the pertinent files from this VM.  The silence is deafening.

This has nothing to do with your browser or a trojan on your system.  I created a virgin Win10 VM and installed MBAM, then Chrome.  WITHOUT SIGNING IN TO THE NEWLY INSTALLED CHROME, I navigated to ATT.COM and MBAM threw up the same warning.  MBAM has all of the pertinent files from this VM.  The silence is deafening.

Thanks for posting.  And especially for going through the VM machine exercise.  Very helpful, and so I've reached the same conclusion you did - product bug/false positives. 

I did all the diagnostics yesterday before realizing that it wasn't my machine or setup.  Same as everybody else is saying here - MB immediately flags two domains when accessing att.com - worldnaturenet.xyz (Trojan category) and netcheckcdn.xyz (fraud category).  No issues on ANY other websites, no issues on ANY other browser.  I'm sure we didn't all just coincidentally catch the exact same malware this week! I'm still shaking my head at the long list of solutions offered that did not work for any of us.  

Again, thanks for posting.

Hi,

Experts here are beginning to suspect ATT.COM.

Contact them.

We have many topics with that error and no solution found yet.

Hmmmm....  Maybe MBAM reps, those who are getting paid to support MBAM, should contact ATT?  We users have to work in order to pay for MBAM.
