Blocking site

[BloatedElvis]

Anyone have any insight into the criteria used by malwarebytes?
The latest is nextgentactics-dot-com
Seems like a harmless enough site to me.
Tried searching malwarebytes forum, but there's no mention of it.
thanks

The best place for this is the MBAM forum. No one can do anything for it from within here. Make a post about and report it as a false positive. How does WOT rate ir or McAfee Site Advisor? Norton Safe Web gives me a green check. MBAM for real time protection severs no real purpose anyways. All you need is MBAM for is on demand scanning.

The site is clean : http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/nextgentactics.com

As far as I know you can add the IP to the whitelist. When a block occurs, right click the Malwarebytes tray icon, and select "Add to ignore list".

Thanks. That worked.
Anubis, and 4 or 5 other scanners said it was clean....but I wonder why MBAM flags it.
WOT used to drive me nuts with the FPs. I'm beginning to wonder if these "site advisors" are worth the bother.
Thanks again

That's the problem with community rating systems, early alerts but leads to FP'S. Are they worth the bother? It depends what type of surfer you are, where you go and what you do...

You dont need to install a site advisor for a sescond opinion. Every site advisors allows you to input a URL to verify it. No install or add on needed.

That's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.

I'm still a little raw because, last week, I got a an email from Comcast informing me that my sys was "infected".
It went on to say that "virus-like" activity was recorded coming from my router and I was advised to install Norton's security suite.
I called Comcast to see WHAT the activity was that they witnessed. No clue.

So I got the number for the outfit that provides Comcast with a list of systems that they decide are zombied. Called them and asked if they could be more specific. Did they know if my sys was sending inordinate amounts of email? Or connecting to sketchy servers somewhere? No clue.

You'd think that they would have a code number (or some indicator) informing their own tech as to the specific behavior that trips their automated emails.

It's good to see that MBAM at least explains things.
Thanks again for the info.
