No, but seven years ago an overzealous (and outdated) version of SpamCop blacklisted all gmails sent to my company as spam. Since I also had an e-mail account on the company mail server, which had not blacklisted its own domain, it was annoying but not debilitating. This was in 2004, in the early days of Gmail, so thankfully none of the e-mail communications from our clients were frustrated by this Ha-ha.

The problem went away with an updated SpamCop database. These things don't happen often, but they tend to raise the temperature when they do.

i run malwarbytes. and can verify the issue, if you can post a link to the site

i often get those blocked outgoing messages, (i travel some pretty seedy neighborhoods), and usually ignore them as long since they are "outgoing"..

it is the income warnings that i take seriously....

What OS are you using?

I started having a similar problem with a new laptop running Windows 7 and Office 2010.

Malwarebytes did nothing to alleviate, by the way.

But, a free utility, Spybot Search and Destroy fixed it.

I had to set up another user account as administrator to run Spybot to get the fix though.

For some reason, my orginal account (with me as administrator) would not do it.

In my opinion Malwarebytes (a trial version) is useless.

i don't think you understand the original posters question. if he was not running malwarebytes, there would be no appearant issue with his computer or software, because he would not be getting the "blocked website" message

In my opinion Malwarebytes (a trial version) is useless

malwarebytes is designed to do exactly what its name implies, it is a malware killer, nothing more , nothing less..... the free version was able to fix my infected laptop when the gurus from microsoft could only recommended that i do a total re-install......

it worked so well, and saved me so much time and energy that i paid for the registered version,

the only real difference between the free and pay version is the real time protection, and real time check for updates every time you boot up the internet

if you wanted to spend the time downloading the most recent version AND running a scan every day to see if you are infected, the free version would work fine...

and no, i do not work for them , but i have nothing for praise for that software ...

The trial version of Malwarebytes did nothing but identify, not remove no matter what I did. In fact, it started blocking legitimate sites that I had been visiting prior to the install.

It was recommended on here, so I tried it.

I guess a reseller is the one who promotes it.

Live and learn, I guess.

Using Windows XP. This is the first time that have had anything attach to one of CR4's digest pages. Just wondering if anyone has or is having issues with it. If not then as a warning. The Malwarebytes installed recently by the tech service we use. Even in it's free form it has it's uses.
