Beep! This is your regular reminder that so-called "virus scanners" cause more problems than they solve. Remove them and be happy and satisfied.

Report it as a false positive at the MWB forums, please. I'm also there, and can tell them that it is indeed a FP, as I've been using Nikos' software for far longer than I have MWB, and I'm an honorary expert there as I helped beta test it back when the founder / dev was a high school student and the company did not exist.

If you are unable to, and you give me permission to use your screenshot, I can do it.

somebody told me that malware bytes flags the whole website as "malware"!?
please tell them that they are wrong, thank you

Browser Guard operates more on IP addresses than sites, but if the OP agrees, I can use his screenshot.

If not, I'll have to install it myself on a browser and verify if I am seeing the same, and if so, then I can make a report, though it would (probably) be (more) beneficial if the report came from the site owner (aka you).

I might get a chance to do so later tonight. Lemme see.

Because it most certainly is not flagged in the Malwarebytes app - I'm using that with full real time application, and I never once get a warning about downloading from zabkat at all.

....LOL, another casualty of password paranoia. I tried to sign up at their the MWB forum but my password wasn't good enough. I disagree, and if i can't use my general-purpose PW then i have to make up a new one or extend the one i have. Either way i can't remember it next time. I specifically created a medium-security PW that i could use on all non-critical websites. One that would be accepted on the largest possible range of sites. I hate this shit.
So yeah i would appreciate if you could report it for me. The image i posted above is public domain.
thanx, mike

In looking at other reports, they also ask for more details, so I'll get it installed on a browser here and test, and if it breaks reporting so I have the direct information that they will probably ask for.

thanks!

I installed the Browser Guard in Chrome, and then did a download of both Ultimate trial as well as Professional trial, and it doesn't trigger on my end.
