Thiber Posted December 26, 2023 ID:1607473 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Greetings, I hope I can get some clarification here. I've been using Malewarebytes Premium for my family for a few years now and only recently have I first encountered this particular warning. I was using Mozilla Firefox and browsing a marketplace website for buying/selling lego pieces called 'Bricklink' when Malewarebytes started giving me Outgoing Trojan warnings, it happened often and so I shared it on reddit (at the time I was unaware this forum existed), at Reddit somebody said this ment that there was something wrong with Firefox like a malevolent extention that re-directs me to this other website to scam me, which spooked me so I deleted Firefox from my pc and I also did a deep scan with both Malewarebytes as well as an additional scan with Eset + ran MB's own Adware cleaner and did a SecurityScan. According to all these everything was fine and so I installed Brave browser instead. Now recently while browsing the internet at various sites, most recently just right now while browsing 'Eurobricks', a coincidentally lego related forum, I got more Outgoing Trojan warnings this time coming from 'Brave.exe' which once again has me spooked. Does this mean there is also something wrong with my Brave Browser as well, or there is still something bad on my PC, or is it just Malewarebytes protecting me from a bad website and it's not something on my PC? Frankly speaking I don't really understand what is happening when I'm getting this Trojan Warning from Malewarebytes, if somebody could explain to me what this means it would be much appreciated. I hope the added screenshot of when I first got the warning is of some help even though it's in my native language and not in English, it says Website blocked because of Trojan horse and that the Type is Outgoing. With kind regards, Thiber Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be either. If you see this only on the forum, it could be someone posted something from a bad host. Lets see if it is a False positive first.

Thiber Posted December 26, 2023 Author ID:1607483 Share Posted December 26, 2023 In that case I should probably add the new warning as well, see shared file: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiber Posted December 26, 2023 Author ID:1607485 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Sorry for the double post, I don't see how I can edit posts here is the second of the two warning I got today, the other one was Riskware this one is Trojan: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted December 26, 2023 ID:1607486 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Are these happening on other sites other than the forum you first mentioned? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since using the Brave browser, I only had the above posted Riskware block happen while visiting the Eurobricks forum and Trojan while browsing for wallpapers on google. (The above posted 'wallpapercave.com') I haven't had any other issues/warnings while using Brave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anything is wrong with the computer or browser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Solution blender Posted December 27, 2023 Staff Solution ID:1607531 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hello @Thiber, We are not blocking Bricklink or its IP. However, if I look closely at your warning screenshot in origional post, I see birklink (i and r reversed) instead (and we block it's IP due to sheer number of malicious sites on it). I think it was just a typo you made in your browser for bricklink. Typo-squatters have fun with this sort of thing hoping folks will make a common mistake typing an address with a slight error and landing on a malicious site as a result. I can get to bricklink just fine and site is fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
