I have recently, (from yesterday) been getting messages when I am on this site from Malwarebytes that  it has blocked a malicious site and that is fundamentaltop500.  I have not had that before.  

Is that usual?  IP given is 174.37.216.226  

C:\program files\ Chrome (X86) Google Chrome\applications\Chrome.exe

In my experience it is Chrome that does this. I have had it happen on this as well as other sites.

Every time I go from one page to another, the message pops up, it is really annoying.

I may be interesting to see if anyone else on the forum has this problem. That way you would know if it is your computer, your browser, or just where it is coming from. Does it say what application is blocking this site? I ask because it could very well be a anti-virus program that you have installed. I would think the last would be the likely culprit.

I have not had this problem at all. I do not use Chrome.

[Invicta]

I have used Chrome for some years but this problem only started a fey days ago.

I just noticed that there is a link to Fundamental Top 500 at the bottom of each page on our forums. Your anti-virus may be picking it up from there.

Yes I think it is Jim.  I am getting the same message on MS Edge,  I think the link has been there all the time but I Have just started getting this message in the last week,  I have emailed Malwarebytes, waiting for a reply.

It is a simply a link to http://fundamentaltop500.com/. Let me know if  Malwarebytes does not fix it on their end, and I'll remove it from the footer here so you will not get that popup all the time.

Thank you Bro Matt, I received the following reply from Malwarebytes

Hello David. Welcome to Malwarebytes support, my name is Andy and I’ll be assisting you today.

We are currently blocking fundamentaltop500.com which is why you are having that experience. I am unsure why it’s being blocked, but can reach out to our research team if you’d like to get a specific definition and a confirmation if that site is in fact delivering malware currently. And if not to lift the block.

If you think this thread is interesting and informative, try reading the Bible.

FYI: I say that because his reply is suspiciously spam looking

Yes, Matt, I see a lot of the exact same type of replies on Youtube - a random person on a random video (which could be about anything), "that was interesting and informative", etc. My first thought was, did they even watch the video (or in this case, read the article), but then I realized that it was a standard response - and sometimes I do a search for other comments by that same person, see they say the same thing on every video they comment on, then report them as spam. Hello, I am a robot... (or a spambot, or just a spammer with no life).
