golfnut123 Posted March 31 ID:1627032 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes anyway. All of sudden in the last few days I get a message that malwarebytes has blocked this site because of a trojan. I don't think this website has a trojan . Just wondering that is going on ? Do I need to contact them and let them know ? Edited March 31 by golfnut123 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfnut123 Posted April 1 Author ID:1627105 Share Posted April 1 The site itself seems to be ok. Its just when I click on certain articles when reading the paper. Not all. I am not sure how to do what was suggested. This just started a few weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfnut123 Posted April 2 Author ID:1627281 Share Posted April 2 Is this anything I should worry about reading this newspaper ? In all the years using malwarebytes I never got this message going to a legit website. I can still read the articles. I just get the message about a trojan being blocked. Thanks.

I guess I could give it a go even though hers is an ipad. Not sure it will work but I will let you know. I could just install the free version and scan hers just to see if anything shows up. Maybe I can do that will one of my other laptops. Just curious on what this is. Edited April 2 by golfnut123 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not worry about the iPad, it is highly unlikely it will affect an iPad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try reading the newspaper on one of my laptops and then install malwarebytes to see what shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an older laptop running windows 10. Installing the free version after I have read the newspaper and then scan with the free version I would think would tell me something ? I just wanted to identify what exactly is going on if this is real trojan or malware like it states when I used my PC running malwarebytes pro. It could be nothing that would harm a PC but I might be wrong ?? Edited April 2 by golfnut123 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
