Which forum? suspect false positive MB adware beta

Background: 

The stock brokerage I have been with for 15 years has been bought out a year ago and absorbed into another, existing one.  It still has its original site up but at the home page states it has been bought out by xyz.  I've used its reliable trading platform for all those years, but even it can get corrupted and needs to be downloaded anew. There is virtually no one to talk to at the old company. There is only one person I know of from the old company that is now working at the new company intimate with the trading platform, and he was not able to be gotten to yesterday when I ran into a problem. I will try again today to reach him, but he may just say to download the same platform anew from the old site. This is time sensitive as I have stock positions that need to be monitored.

Problem:

When I tried to download from the original site the trading platform to replace the existing, messed up one, I got a warning not to.  A dire warning "strongly encouraging" not to.  I am assuming it derives from MB's adware beta (does it have a name ?), as I don't recall seeing such from the MB platform in the traditional manner, although I have not gotten a warning in a very long time based on doing an imminent download.  I do have the option to ignore the warning.  (I have had the beta for about 4 to 6 weeks.)

Please, which forum do I go to in order to address a possible, false positive from the MW adware ?  I see a list of applications that are addressed at the False Positive forum, but the adware beta is not listed.  I suspect it IS where to go, but I don't want to waste mine or other's time if it is not.

BTW...if I wish to remove the MB adware beta, where do I go on my computer to do so ?  My Revo Uninstaller shows  "adguard installer" from last November, but I thought I have had the MW beta less than a few months, so what I see may be a former adware application.

Thank you in advance for steering me !

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have had the MW adware (does it have a name?) for about 6 weeks.
