Anyone Else Getting Malwarebytes Warnings About Pop.secureserver.net?

    Today, Malwarebytes started repeatedly popping up "Malicious website blocked" messages on our computers. The domain in question is pop.secureserver.net. Is anyone having issues with this widely used domain?

    We added it to "Manage web exclusions" on one computer, and that stopped the recurring pop-up warning. Thought we should check to see if there's a security issue with pop.secureserver.net before adding it to the web exclusions on other computers.

    Thanks.

    Make sure that Malwarebytes is kept fully up to date just in case it was a false-positive.
    If you want to be sure that your entire system is clean of any malware then read this guide, carry out all the steps required and (only after that) post a new thread in the Malware Removal Forum.
    It wouldn't hurt to carry out a full-system malware scan with MalwareBytes (making sure you update it FIRST) and any AV program you have installed as a first option.

    Hello.

    Latest version of Malwarebytes is installed; did a full-system scan, and it found no threats.

    Added the domain to the web exclusions list, and the pop-up warnings have stopped (and we can send and receive email again).

    Perhaps it's a precaution or bug in the latest version that caused it?

    Thanks.

    Hi Laurie

    Likely as you said a precursor to malware that is now ID'd and the threat is either killed or void, but I would want and love MBAM that its looks for the random.
