JB Cases site issues...??

Mine said blocked by Malwarebytes. It still will let me go there, just suggests not to. I have MacAfee for anti virus

I turned off MB and it loads and looks completely fine. No issues. I looked thru case selection with no problems.

Did you try Antivir? My guess is that it will not block it.

A couple things... here is the warning I get, from the MB log

Note that it is an outbound (from my computer to the website) connection that is being blocked, and it is pointing to my browser Vivaldi (Chrome, under the hood) as being the trojan. This is something that you should only see if your computer is infected and your browser has a malicious extension/plug-in causing it to behave like a trojan. If it were an inbound connection being blocked it would indicate the website trying to attack me.

So I Googled this and found a thread involving a different website where the MB tech had the customer download and run a number of other pc clean up utilities and those eventually solved his problem; he had some crapware on his computer. Just for grins I downloaded and ran all of them and none of that did nothing for me.

So I tried clicking the "go there anyways" button on the MB warning screen and got this...

Which is an entirely different error that is coming from the browser, not MB, and should show up on any other computer running a different AV. Because I can get to their website on my other Win10 comuputer running Vivladi, it looks like a bogus domino error as a result of the MB error.

So, the preponderance of evidence is telling me that MB is crying wolf, and there is no wolf. In my field we run into stuff like this all the time and the bottom line is absence of proof is not proof of absence, so like everything you read on the Internet (or in the news these days) you don't know until and unless you dig into it. Just because your AV doesn't sound the alarm doesn't mean there is no threat.

Websites can and do get infected. The bad guys have software that automatically and constantly visits every website, poking and prodding to find one that does not have the latest security updates so that they can break in and plant a poison pill on the home page. Major websites belonging to companies flush with money have small armies of folks like me making sure that doesn't happen. Smaller mom & pop type companies entrust that sort of security to whatever company is providing the web hosting service and some do a much better job than others.

Thanks for all the tech info. I'm clueless on this stuff.
