lmacri Posted March 28, 2022 ID:1508846 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox v2.3.20 is currently blocking hxxps://www[.]wordplays.com (a site for solving crossword puzzle clues) "due to riskware". Have visited this site previously without a problem but I'm not sure if this is a false positive or a legitimate detection. In future, should I be reporting possible false positives for Malwarebytes Browser Guard in this board or over in https://forums.malwarebytes.com/forum/123-website-blocking/? I didn't see anything logged in my Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.6 detection history for this particular website block. -----------64-bit Win 10 Pro v21H2 build 19044.1586 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.2202.4-1.1.19000.8 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.6.180-1.0.1634 * Firefox v98.0.2 * Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox v2.3.20 Dell Inspiron 15 5584, Intel i5-8265U CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Toshiba KBG40ZNS256G NVMe SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 620 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be the reason why Malwarebytes Browser Guard is throwing a Riskware warning? -----------64-bit Win 10 Pro v21H2 build 19044.1586 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.2202.4-1.1.19000.8 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.6.180-1.0.1634 * Firefox v98.0.2 * Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox v2.3.20 Dell Inspiron 15 5584, Intel i5-8265U CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Toshiba KBG40ZNS256G NVMe SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 620 Edited March 28, 2022 by lmacri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
