muo Posted February 10, 2021 Author ID:1437860 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thank you for looking into this Zynthesist! The file (and the arguably tactless article that referenced it) have been removed. May we request that muo.com (together with our older domain makeuseof.com) be removed from the Malwarebytes blacklist please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
