Dear all,

Checking my ESET renew receipt in my inbox, MALWAREBYTES block the page due to phishing, 

I think the image is the one, that MALWAREBYTES is detecting as phishing

Could it be a False Positive?

I would open a ticket with MBAM support and have them verify it is indeed a FP.

As far as running MBAM Prem with ESET at the same time, in my experience, they will clash. Ever since MBAM went to v3, MBAM and ESET do not play well together. 

Best regards.

I also turned off the paid version of MB. Too many problems. I only use it as an on demand scanner now.

 

MBAM has grown in complexity since v1.75 (when was a simply "second layer" to any antivirus) and cannot be used with a sophisticated antivirus like ESET.

Malwarebytes recently acquired Windows Firewall Control from Binisoft and has everything to be a fully flagged antivirus (even though they say MBAM is still compatible with any antivirus)

 

I run MBAM and MSE without issues.

Hello monbonita96, the IP is not blocked. That is a shared IP provided by Amazon S3 for multiple sites. The link we block is for the following site as it is spreading malicious files. I don't believe it is/was part of the letter from ESET it could be due to some advertisement that is crossed linked maybe. It would take more analysis to see if we're able to verify the actual source as it could also be offline now. These type of Ads change rapidly to avoid take-down notices, etc.

Example of files they're spreading
