Website blocked due to Riskware


Recommended Posts

Hello there,

Thank you for taking your time to read this thread

I'm currently using the trial version of Malwarebytes and Windows 11. Recently, I have been constantly receiving notifications from Malwarebytes stating that "Website blocked due to Riskware."

Upon researching, I found out that this website is capable of transferring potential threat to my computer.

I have been doing several scans but it eventually says that there is no harm but AS I said before I keep getting those notifications like every 5 minutes.

What should I do to remove it?

KMPlayer 64X (remove only) (HKLM\...\KMPlayer 64X) (Version: 2024.7.24.12 - PandoraTV) is detected as a RISK PROGRAM. The script ran well.

Still receiving notifications?
 

It is up to you to keep it, but it is flagged as a Risk Program.

Lets try another scanner:


Please run the following ESET Online Scanner and perform a Full Scan
 
Click the following link to save the installer for ESET Online Scanner
https://download.eset.com/com/eset/tools/online_scanner/latest/esetonlinescanner.exe

  • It will start a download of "esetonlinescanner.exe"
  • Save the file to your system, such as the Downloads folder, or else to the Desktop.
  • Go to the saved file, and double click it to get started.
  • When presented with the initial ESET screen, click on "Get Started". Read and accept the Terms of use
  • On the "Before we start..." screen chose if you want to send anonymous data and if you want to provide feedback or not, then click Continue
  • When prompted for scan type, Click on the Full Scan button
  • Enable  ( select )   the radio selection "Enable ESET to detect and quarantine potentially unwanted applications"   and click the Start scan button.
  • Have patience.  The entire process may take a few hours or more.
  • When the scan is completed, if something was found, it will show a screen with the number of detected items.  If so, click the button marked “View detected results”.
  • Click The blue “Save scan log” to save the log and give it a name and location you remember.
  • If something was removed and you know it is a false postive, you may click on the blue ”Restore cleaned files”  ( in blue, at the bottom).
  • Press Continue when all done.  You should click to turn off the offer for “periodic scanning”.
  • Enable "Delete application data on closing" - You do not need to submit feedback unless you want to. Simply ignore and close the program.

 


 
Note: If you do need to do a File Restore from ESET please follow the directions below
[KB2915] Restore files quarantined by the ESET Online Scanner version 3
https://support.eset.com/en/kb2915-restore-files-quarantined-by-the-eset-online-scanner
 
Please attach the ESET scan log you saved at the end to your next reply

MSIL/Microsoft.Bing is a correct detection for ESET as it classifies it as an application that pushes users into changing the default search engine. Such applications meet the definition of potentially unwanted applications according to ESET. Most people just create an exception for this type of programs. There is nothing wrong in having Bing Wallpaper.

How is the computer doing otherwise?
