fxsound.com identified as Risky Pattern in Browser Guard 3.08

[davei1]

I've been using FX Sound application for quite a long time...I downloaded the update to the program today (Installed on all my computers)...

I decided to download the updated installer file as well and immediately got notified by MBG that its a risky site (www.fxsound.com) . Browserguard identified it as a RISKY PATTERN.

I also checked the downloaded installer file from the site with Defender and Malwarebytes and both showed clean. I also ran the File through VirusTotal and only

one of 27 sites flagged it (Most likely a false positive by the one small Scanner)... Anyway I thought I should point this out to people who know more than me.

OK...So does this mean that the site was possibly taken over...I've been to the site in the past and never gotten warnings (Although it may have been quite some time)...

The downloaded fxsound_setup.exe scanned clean with Defender and latest Malwarebytes (Latest definitions). VirusTotal had only 1 of 27 sites flag it but it also said Not Detected.

Looking for some guidance on this.

And I scanned the FXSound installed folder with Defender and MBG...Scanned clean...

 

[davei1]

So after having used this Sound application for years...And having no further guidance...I'm erring on the side of caution...Uninstalled it from all systems (With Revo Uninstaller to get rid of

leftover registry entries, etc). Rebooted and reran scans with Defender (Full) and Malwarebytes (Threat) and again came up with no detections. Oh well...Back to crappy sound.
