I have the Malwarebytes free add-on running on Firefox. The add-on is supposed to warn you that you are visiting a web-site where you could be at risk from malware or other unwanted intrusions. Since yesterday evening, clicking on my bookmark to the Forum, I am being greeted with Website blocked due to riskware Website blocked: www.SimSig.co.uk Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this website because it may contain malware activity. We strongly recommend you do not continue. There is a box to tick to allow continued access to the site which Malwarebytes will not accept; if you over-ride the advice and click to continue to the site the Forum loads OK. Then when you get to the Forum and look at the Malwarebytes properties the site gets a green tick and no problems found. Anyone else seeing anything similar? “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |

I wonder if your bookmark is for http:// rather than https:// and that's causing it to throw a wobbler. The website will redirect you to the secure version, which might explain why the forum gets a tick after you override the first block.

Before I disabled it this morning I got the same block on another perfectly reputable website so it looks like there is a generic problem. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 20/04/2020 at 16:02 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Without more specific information as to what it's objecting to, it's impossible to investigate. It may simply be the Google advertising. And, if you use an ad-blocker, then it could even be the ad-blocker itself.
