client.protechts.net on linkedin.com - false positiv?

[IQ123]

Hello,
malwarebytes browser guard for firefox has just started throwing me warnings when I go to linkedin.com, specifically it says "client.protechts.net" as a malware... somehow it doesn't seem to me that there is potential malware on linkedin... can someone check what it is? thx

One more printscreen and for clarification, when I click on the stats, it says in detial that it is "riskware"

Hello-

We do not show either the domain nor the IP which the domain resides on in our database, was this perhaps a Browser Guard block only?

Hello,
Yes, it was only blocking with Browser Guard, specifically the firefox version (2.6.17). But even with Browser Guard I would expect it to block correctly..

I got this same warning from BroswerGaurd today. Mentions client.protechts.net

I ran a scan, but nothing was found with Malwarebytes. I never got this message before today. Is this something I can get rid of? Only happens with LinkedIn.

Hi,

The problem reported by @IQ123 is still present for me.

Nice week to everybody 😊

If you can not see the Browser Guard icon in the browser toolbar, click the puzzle icon and unhide or pin the icon.

 

If you're having issues with Malwarebytes Browser Guard you may want to try to update the program manually.

• Click on the extension icon
• Click the Kebab Menu -> then Support
• Click the Check for database updates button
• If still having an issue then click Clear Browser Guard Storage, Restart the Browser, and check for Database Updates again
