That's a good reason for us all to remove it off our systems.
Boy that site has a bunch of giant fucking tits.
I'm not a boob guy though.

I don't even think it's about you running a bbs.
your domain is just blacklisted.

Yeah, I like how it doesn't tell you what trojan it thinks is there (because there isn't one). :(

you should contact them and give them your ip to get unblacklisted.

Reported. We shall see what happens.

yeah, not very technical for being in the biz.
it's not like there's bad javascript or it's serving up anything.

so contact them with your ip address. that's the thing that triggers the blocking. hopefully you will get ahold of a real person.

g. hopefully you will get ahold of a real person.

Their answer is that I need to add my site to my malwarebytes config, even though I told them (1) I am not the one running their software and (2) it
is other people who are accessing my site and getting a false positive.

I sort of figured I'd not find much joy there since I am not a customer.

Meanwhile, I can see where they immediately helped someone else out who
runs a commecercial website -- selling men's undergarments -- whose site apparently got blocked because it has the word "ass" in it.

Maybe I should change my site name to "getsomeass.net" so they will fix it.

yep looks like they arent the same malwarebytes from years ago.
they are all about the money.

not many people use it, so i wouldn't worry about it.

Another useful one I've been using that's really easy on resources
and easy
to configure is Avast, both the freeware version as well as the
professional
version. Very little interference with all Windows programs. I am
not sure
if it is available on other OSes... Not sure. https://www.avast.com

Best regards,

wasnt avast caught selling our information?
i just use the ms security essentials.

There are specific settings in Avast under settings - personal privacy to turn off sharing. I'm sure that some folks will still not be convinced. I've been satisfied with its performance. I will check further and see. You may in fact be correct.

Best regards,
Marc

if they did it once, they'll do it again.
I wouldn't trust it.

I just use the built in windows shit.

I was thinking it might have been AVG instead of Avast, but I often get
those mixed up so there is that.
