Jawfin Posted July 23, 2020 ID:1396485 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Howdy. My previous thread was locked: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/260463-false-positive-jawfinnet/ and fair enough, so creating a new one. But this time I am posting preemptively, so please forgive that impertinence, it just that in an effort to help the users of the application I wrote https://jawfin.net/nsm I have again uploaded the debug version of it, but now in a Zip file. Odds are, sooner or later, some stupid AntiVirus will complain about it, and due to the nature of sharing detections between the AV vendors I just wanted to post here to keep an eye out that you don't fall into that trap [for a 3rd time]. So if you think it'll happen regardless of our best efforts, please let me know and I'll put a password on the zip, or whatever you recommend to prevent false triggers. If it won't be a problem please just lock this thread and I apologise for wasting your time. CheersJonathan Edit: Why does the posts here keep hyperlinking normal text?!??

Jawfin Posted July 23, 2020 Author ID:1396489 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Haha, well, the block isn't there yet - but I am just being cautious, giving you guys a heads up as my software seems to trigger AVs >.< Sidepoint, I can't preview or edit these posts, so sorry for bad formatting / links in the OP, I just couldn't fix it!

Porthos Posted July 23, 2020 ID:1396551 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Actually both links on the following page are blocked by browser guard. https://jawfin.net/nsm @gonzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted July 23, 2020 ID:1396566 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Those download links should be working in 15-30 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawfin Posted July 23, 2020 Author ID:1396617 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Wait, so, it was already blocked? I mean, why? I posted here the moment I uploaded my zip, so it wasn't that. I may add, just quietly, that I was reassured I would be told if you blocked my site again [I mean, just saying....]. On a completely unrelated note, every time I log into these forums it tells me I entered my password incorrectly [I didn't], and I have to use the "forget password" to restore my login. And, to double check, as soon as I did that, and put my new password in, I did a test by opening this site incognito and sure enough I couldn't log in with the new credentials I just made. This means for some reason I have to use the forget password to log in each time. Should I make a new forum thread about that, or is it a known issue? [I didn't check] Cheers Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was blocked by the other free Malwarebytes Browser guard not the paid main Malwarebytes program. Browser guard is a bit more aggressive and does not just rely on signatures and had to be whitelisted separately. Quote Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocks downloads that either come from websites that see relatively light traffic or may contain potentially malicious content. This is intended to protect you from new scams. @gonzo Could you recheck the following 2 links please. https://www.jawfin.net/download/nsm.php https://www.jawfin.net/download/nsm_setup.php Edited July 23, 2020 by Porthos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawfin Posted July 23, 2020 Author ID:1396623 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Aha makes sense, thanks! I've done my nut competing with AVs - I just bother with MWB because you're the best! I may add those .php are obviously script generated download links which point to: -https://www.jawfin.net/download/NonStickMouse.exehttps://www.jawfin.net/download/nsm_setup.exe So check those fellows too, when you can as well, hehe. And may as well check that zip what prompted me to post in the first place: -https://www.jawfin.net/download/NSMDebug.zip Cheers again, Jonathan (And I just found the Preview forum post button, yay ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawfin Posted July 24, 2020 Author ID:1396627 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Thanks for letting me know. It would be because they are advertised on my website. BUT, it really does merit mentioning the first time MWB blocked my website was due to a private .exe I had hosted, which was shared only amongst a few friends (an innocent application, I may add) - and I suspect whatever AV on their computer is what flagged it, and thus snowball effect... so can't hurt to be too careful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
