Hi as an assistant surveyor I require software to do my job and one of them is a software called Cloud Compare

 I have used the previous version but at that time I didn't have MalwareBytes Browser Guard. Last night I uninstalled the previous version and wanted to download the new version. In the process of downloading this file, immediately I get an message from Malwarebytes Browser Guard link is here

I had to completely turn off Browser Guard in order to download this software. Can you please resolve this issue so other users like my profession doesn't have to go through all these issues. Thanks.

Malwarebytes err on the side of caution to assure that we are protecting our users. If our users encounter a block, they report it (as you did), we test it, and if it is determined to be safe, we unblock it.

It is a 3 day Holiday here and researchers and staff might not get to this until Tuesday.

Thank you for reporting @Staticguy

I will submit this to our team to get the block removed.

@AdvancedSetup Thanks much appreciated 

[Staticguy]

@AdvancedSetup FYI: My Malwarebytes Browser Guard is only installed on Microsoft Edge (the new browser). Just let your team know about this. Thanks again.

[AdvancedSetup]

Blocks or Unblocking applies to all supported browsers.

Thank you again

This has been whitelisted.  It should be accessible now.

@AdvancedSetup This same issue is re-occurring again. This time is the new version of Cloud Compare 2.11.3?

Hi just an update. I again downloaded this program and it seems to be back to normal. Must have been a false alarm and I will keep on monitoring it. 

 

Thanks.

Great, glad you were able to get this issue resolved
