exile360 Posted November 10, 2020 ID:1419770 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Greetings, This is likely due to a known issue where the default settings for Exploit Protection are not honored correctly. It's usually fixed by restoring them to default. Please open Malwarebytes and navigate to settings by clicking the small gear icon in the upper right corner, then select the Security tab and scroll down to the Exploit Protection section. Once there, make certain the option to block penetration testing attacks is set to OFF, then click the Advanced settings button and click the Restore Defaults button at the bottom. Once that is completed, wait approximately 30 seconds for the protection to refresh itself or restart the system if you don't want to wait, then test to see if the detection still occurs. Please let us know how it goes. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmantemuri Posted November 10, 2020 ID:1419811 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Desktop Outlook only for emails. MWB blocks suspicious websites too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
veseng Posted November 10, 2020 ID:1419857 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The above fix worked for me. I'm using Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 laptop (It won't run Win 10.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
