CumulusMX being Flagged by MalwareBytes
Posted: Thu 04 Feb 2016 10:14 am
Steve,
Here is what happens. I have a paid subscription to Malwarebytes. Using my Windows 10 PC that also runs CumulusMX, I will occasionally hit a web site with my Edge browser that Malwarebytes flags as a dangerous site and will block it. As soon as this occurs, Malwarebytes starts notifying me that CumulusMX is attempting outbound traffic to that blocked site. It's like it gets attached to the CumulusMX process. The notifications will continue about CumulusMX trying to access a blocked site until I reboot the PC. Not sure what is going on here, but this can be recreated anytime I accidently hit a blocked site with my browser. See attached image showing Malwarebytes warning.
