Malwarebytes blocked Website Malvertising

[sim123]

Hello,

i created this account for this question.

Maybe a stupid question but i want to make sure.

I had a Blocked Website Malvertising Warning this morning with Malwarebytes ( i use Malwarebytes Premium Trial + adwcleaner, newest Windows 10, Chrome etc Updates + ublock origin), but Ublock Origin didnt mention anything unfortunately.

So the block is still  just listed in History in Malwarebytes software, nothing was put in Quarantine, no Delete etc.

i double checked the pc with a scan in Malwarebytes, adwcleaner and MBAR, nothing found.

 

So can i be sure that some may harmful was stopped by Malwareybytes if blocking any website/ad etc before anything could´ve happen?

 

Thank you

Web sites exist on the 'net.  The malvertiser was blocked and you were protected.  Files get quarantined, not web sites.

Greetings,

The Web Protection in Malwarebytes Premium functions at the same level of the network stack as the built in Windows Firewall.  This means that when it blocks a connection to a malicious website, none of that blocked site's content is able to reach your system.  This makes Web Protection a very proactive, preventative tool in protecting systems from malware.  It also means that when content is blocked, it eliminates the possibility of things like drive-by downloads, exploits and other harmful content from known malicious sites from reaching your device.  Please refer to the diagram and information on this page for more info on how the various protection components in Malwarebytes work to thwart attacks and threats throughout various phases in the attack chain, with Web Protection being the earliest since it prevents sites/servers hosting malicious content from ever reaching your PC.

I hope this helps to clarify things and sets your mind at ease.  If there is anything else we might assist you with please let us know.

Thanks
