I updated to the newest version of MalwareBytes and checked the free trial box to see what the paid version has to offer. All went fine.
Tonight, I went to my banking website and clicked to log on.
I typed my user name.
I typed my password.
..............then this MalwareBytes "Web Exclusions" popup instantly appeared.
I've never seen this before.
I typed in my user name and password a second time because my banking website login page reappeared and asked for that information again.
The MalwareBytes popup appeared this second time too.
I had to type in my banks password and user name for a third time
This time, I got logged on and had access to my banking info.
What is this popup and what was it asking for?
Was I supposed to type in ex. 216.146.46.11 to exclude it from being blocked?
If so, how the heck would I know if that IP address was my bank, or some ........some evildoer tryin' to snatch my data?
