Malwarebytes And Majorgeeks

Andytay70 · Jun 6, 2016

Hi all
The past few days, everytime i log onto the Majorgeeks site Malwarebytes pops up a message saying its blocked a website called Pakguns.com?
Is this a fale alarm?
I have uploaded a screenshot

There is nothing wrong with the Major Geeks website. Try closing your browser and opening it again and type this into the taskbar http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index.php
See where it takes you and if you still get a warning message from Malwarebytes. Also have you tried using a different browser and check the results?

If you still have problems read this http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index....engine-redirection-hijacking-problems.230267/

The problem is not with MajorGeeks. As per your screenshot, the process involved is FeedDemon which is a legitimate RSS feed reader for Windows.

Glad you seem to not have issues now.

Hi never wasting our time and glad you are sorted, always worth airing any issues out as never know, but the folks above seem to have addressed the issue, think looking at it likely a false positive and these happen from time to time, Pakguns.com is not related to Majorgeeks and not in any advertising that I know of, so possible one of your RSS feeds is linking to this site?
