Someone needs to get in contact with MalWareBytes, they have flagged the forum as potential Phishing...

If it's allowed to continue it usually leads of MWB totally blocking a site, so they will need to do a manual check ASAP.

Says may! Some internet security programs may say that because they are unsure.

Hey @Vaping With Vic :wave: I have been getting the same error. it wouldn't let me on the page due to "phishing". I ended up having to whitelist the forum.
I have the paid version of Malwarebytes do you have the paid version as well?

I haven't been able to show others the error because the free version isn't tripping the error message for them.


Is there anyone else here getting this type of message from their anti virus/ anti malware software?

Nope, I'm not seeing anything pop up. This is on my work laptop with Bitdefender. On my personal laptop I run Arch Linux so no messages there.

Nope, Mr Duck says all ok and gives this site a B+

An entirely other issue but here in Oz we are getting warning after warning to ditch Google over privacy and security concerns.
Large number of tech sites are issuing the warnings.

I can't even like your post without Malwarebytes stopping me if the site isn't whitelisted.

I was getting it until I checked the box to not notify me.

Yup, using the paid version.

Also, nice shot "Theboss" calling me a wanker then editing it out, trouble is people quoted your original post prior to your editing it.

This is way over my head. I just wanted to say I'm very happy to know @Vaping With Vic is on the forums (have been a huge fan of him) Was able to "Like" if that matters (using Ubuntu Linux on a PC)

Late to the party, as usual, but I would not have noticed the wanker quote if you hadn't mentioned it in a new post :giggle:
