ThomasSchulzMS Posted January 23 ID:1613151 Share Posted January 23 Hi, Company existed since 1978, been selling this specific product since 2005 microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/ "Malwarebytes: Website blocked due to riskware. We strongly recommend you do not continue. Riskware, or “risky software,” describes legitimate software programs that contain loopholes or vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers for malicious purposes." Obviously this warning does not contain anything about malicious software or malicious intent, but... I am trying to understand the reason for this warning. Brainstorming leaves these possibilites: 1) Many of my software tools are crawler based tools. If the user decides to user browser mode: On old Windows systems my software can use old Microsoft Internet Explorer control, but on never systems use Microsoft WebView2. I do not know if usage of internet explorer control can trigger this warning? 2) I have to provide old versions available for download for people who bought old versions many years ago. However these are only available under "all downloads", so people know they are downloading old versions. 3) Possible some vulnerability in some code library used? Is there any way to get this warning cleared? Or get more details? Does Malwarebytes offer an online service where one can see specifically what MalwareBytes does not like? (If indeed there is a potential vulnerability of a sorts, I would also appreciate knowing and fixing it. Albeit I have to keep up old versions available for download.) Under all circumstances, I think blocking a website with legitimate tools is maybe a tad too much. Maybe you could simply show a warning or block specific downloads....
