Malwarebytes lying and forcing morality on you? - The Pact - Jul 17, 2025
I've had Malware Bytes premium for a long time. I think it's now lying about websites the owners disapprove of.
I know that there is a lot of risk to piracy sites etc... but I think as of this year they are blocking sites that are not actually risky just because they want to block piracy.
Also I have a friend who owns strip clubs who wants me to do research for him on other strip clubs and Malware Bytes will claim there is malware to try to block you from some links to the strip club websites although just clicking from Google or Bing works OK but clicking from a link in an article or something Malware Bytes will block the link to strip club websites.
I have also been trying everything to stop Malware Bytes endless pop up messages and nothing I do works for that. Like I have followed instructions to stop it, but it still keeps happening and it's too many popups.

Did you check if those sites try to load any spam scripts / ads while opening?
I used malwarebytes premium for a few years and didn't have that kind of issues.

Yes it says Malware Bytes is blocking me from the website because it claims it's riskware.

I feel that it's a recent change. I never had this issue before this year with malwarebytes.
