Hi, we have a client that is being blocked by the Malwarebytes Chrome Extension.

I requested the site be unblocked earlier but we had a false positive on 
hxxp://cpethink.com/blog/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/core.min.js

We verified that file is OK but virustotal.com was still reporting it as malware.

So we backed up and deleted the blog completely but virustotal.com is still showing the file exists and is malware.

hxxp://cpethink.com/blog - 404

hxxps://cpethink.com/blog - 404

If you go to any of the links above you get a 404 (as you should) and since there are no other positives may the site please be unblocked?

Many thanks...

Hi @TeMerc,

I've traced the problem to 2 listings on scumware.org and it is the only scanner reporting any problem.

VirusTotal Security Vendor List - https://www.screencast.com/t/KOzd8SpF

Scumware.org query results - https://www.screencast.com/t/fAocMxozyYj

The files in the Scumware.org query list have been completely removed as well as all WordPress files from our site.  

Is there anything you can help with?  We have cleaned our site and appear to be at the mercy of scumware.org and they are not easy to contact like your company is.

Many thanks, Tad

I think the issue is it takes Virus Total time to re sync the results from the reporting vendors. Now staff has to dig deeper manually and that is also time consuming.

Staff are all working remotely and scattered across the world and in different time zones as well.

Makes since but since scumware.org is still reporting the positive, VirusTotal just picks that up and then Malwarebytes picks that up.

Out of all the security vendors VirusTotal aggragates scumware.org is the only one reporting bad files and the files don't even exist.  So even if VirusTotal re-syncs their still going to get that we have bad files and we don't.

It's just frustrating that you can't get ahold of anyone at scumware.org and it's killing our site.  Booting the server tonight to clear cache's and see if that helps.

Thanks again for your help.

Awesome, that wasn't even there this morning but is now.  Just submitted a ticket to remove a false positive for hxxp://cpethink.com/blog and the subdirectory doesn't even exist.  Will do a ticket for the main domain as well.  Thanks again and let me know anything I can do for you, your help is much appreciated.

What script are you referring to?  All the WP scripts are gone, we deleted the entire subdirectory.

Now it 404, probably not an issue any longer but staff will respond asap.
