IPv6 Ping Problem Still Not Fixed in MB 4.1.2.73

[moraga695]

I just got the new version 4.1.2.73 of MB. I was hoping that here was Malwarebyte's chance the fix the problem of IPv6 pings being blocked by the Web Protection feature. Unfortunately, the problem is STILL NOT FIXED! Very annoying! I am a dual stacked user on Comcast and every now and then Comcast decides to change my IPv6 prefix. So, every few days, I'll ping a web site that uses IPv6 to make sure all is well. But, before I do that I have to also temporarily disable Web Protection. This is an OLD issue. Malwarebytes has known about the problem since January of this year - there is a long thread in the forums about this issue.

Suggestions have been made to downgrade to an older version of MB that doesn't have this issue, but I don't want to do that. Please fix the problem, that's the real solution!
