Getting error from Malwarebytes 'website blocked due to phishing' when opening MakeMKV

#1 Post by mrlamest » Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:58 pm

This problem started a little while ago (1 month?). I have been using both pieces of software on the same PC for a long time now.

I am running the latest version as of today, 1.15.1 on Windows 10 Release 1909 Enterprise Edition 64-bit. I am running Malwarebytes Premium version 4.1.0.

MakeMKV works fine otherwise.

Does anybody have an ideas?

Thanks!

I added an exclusion for 'hkdata.fairuse.org' ages ago. MBAM is flagging the entire 'fairuse.org' domain, over which MakeMKV has no control. Somewhere in this forum, there s a lengthy discussion (or 2) to that effect.
