website block warning from MBam appears when I access browser password manager

[pastywhitegurl]

Recently, I tried to purchase something from a small animal nutrition website that I had used previously, and MBAM blocked it as a site containing malware.

I communicated with the site owner to see if it was a false positive and they needed to straighten things out with MBAM, and receive confirmation that they had fixed the problem.   Meanwhile, I was able to successfully place my order through an alternate domain, but MBAM is still blocking the main domain if I try to access it.  I did not allow an exception.

I'm noticing that this site is now being blocked (as outgoing from my browser) every time I access the browser password manager. I don't see the block warning in any other operation. This seems concerning, so I'm asking if this can be resolved, or if it is even a concern since its being blocked.    MBAM Scans are not showing anything amiss. Just did one before I posted this and it detected no threats.

Since you received confirmation from the site owner that they had straightened things out with MBAM, ideally, get the link from the site owner for their thread at the MBAM forum.  From there you can post feedback that it is still being blocked as containing malware.

OK. I'll write to the site owner and see what is up.  They gave me no details on what their webmaster did to fix things, so it appears I need info on that to begin with.

Received a reply:  "I did not report anything on MalwareBytes. I asked our website support guy to fix it and he deleted all the infected files. So it should all be fixed now."

So what to do now?  Wondering if the next MalwareBytes update will take care of things.  I see one was recently released, but hasn't come through my auto-updater yet.

(btw...the site is knowwhatyoufeed)

I'm using MBAM 5 and it is updated and is still showing the site as compromised. In addition, when I clicked the link, I got the message in the following link: https://photos.onedrive.com/photo/33AE33E8FBBB20D5!404090?view=all&fallback=%2F indicating a secure connection fail. Thus, it appears that there is still an issue with the website.

Edit note: By the way, I received the same SSL error on Microsoft Edge, Pale Moon and Firefox. Thus, it appears that there is still an issue with the KnowWhatYouFeed website.

It is the knowwhatyoufeed. com site  (sorry, thought I had added the domain)  It appears you found it anyway.  The alternate site I used to order was knowwhatyoufeed. net  I didn't get any warnings on that one.

And yes, I got the warning on several browsers as well:  Brave, Edge, Chrome, Palemoon

I'm going to suggest to the site owner that her webmaster needs to file a report.  As I recall, it requires some documentation and I'm not sure you can just report it as a user.

Let us know how it works out.

PWG,

The links you provide are compromised, so, please, do not post them as links. Someone may put their selves in trouble when they click on them. Clearly, it is their site problem and you can do nothing, except of letting them know.

I broke the links in post #5

Thanks, winchester.   Appreciate that you did that since I can't edit the post anymore.

I've notified the site owner, but have heard nothing back yet.
