    so contact them with your ip address. that's the thing that triggers the block
    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.

    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. Yo
    may in fact be correct.


    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.
