WARNING - Malwarebytes (MBAM) tags this site as malicious

I'd like to know how this crap works too. I don't have any problems on my mac, but this windows laptop I got to fart around with.....jeezus...you hook it up to the internet and its constantly getting bombarded with nasty shit. I got the same issue....some sites I normally go to will be fine but then sometimes my Avira screams at me that its dangerous. Maybe some internet savvy folks can explain.
Can websites be hacked and shit get imbedded in them without the owners knowledge or something?

Caithleann, I use malwarebytes all the time but I do not use the live active protection service .. but from what I have heard, seen and read in the underground scene, MBAM is very well aware of their product is keygenned .. and I heard all kinds of stories when using the keygen to register the active protection service .. so if that's what you used then that's what's up .. I use the free version and I scan at bedtime and I stay away from sites that are plowed with advertisements because that's usually where all the spyware crap comes from .. as for the free version it is awesome and I am sure it's worth the active protection service and I wished it was like $10 cheaper .. and I suspect they might have a hand in the (ave.exe) bad boy spyware piece that's floating around and (ave.exe) is usually found embedded in mp3's

There used to be a virus in the rules section, but that was taken care of...must of been that. I have Malwarebytes v1.45 and it doesn't block this site, or consider it malware, i don't know what's up with your PC. This site is the best.

In case you guys haven't noticed, there is u huge war starting up or better - the war is just getting more aggressive. there is a huge push from the large media companies to outlaw internet as a whole and in most countries the media moguls are trying to push and lobby for new laws that will allow them to block any website and cut off internet connections of anybody for life without due court process. so this malware thing is the same as if you have noticed when sometimes antivirus programs label keygens as viruses when they actually aren't. the trick is that if a company wants you to not be able to access a site, all it has to do is report a file or web address to an antivirus company and uala-you won't be able to access a site anymore. All it is is Bullshit. Trust don't use stupid malware programs- Malware is a lie anyway ,all you need is a good antivirus and a firewall.

theMAN you right about the maleware programs they are just one big shit ....more junk on your computer that what it is.
but about the mass media that they are tryn to kill us and the accesse to website etc. I don't think you right, but even if you are right, I don't think they can stop this, not in the web 2.0 era.
we are not arming any body, this site is for audio lovers musicians, and people that like to download thats all . nothing fancy.
the tricky part here is that if someone wants to shut-down AudioZ it is not a problem, because of the web optimization, this website come one of the first whan you type audio info in google.
so it pop's up easilly,... think about it ,people made the Enternet for mass communication sharing and distrebuting material,and today they acheaved their dream, and now you think they will close it, even if they want to I don't belife they can .

murry, if Malwarebytes is aware that it is activated by means of a key generator, it should be much easier (and more decent) for them to disable the update service to a pirate than to arbitrarily collect the IP addresses of warez sites and others and block access to them selectively. They only need to do this with one site owned by someone who has a very deep legal pocket and they can be sued out of business for slander. The explanation you gave above sounds plausible only in the ears of rumor mongers and those that like to believe in conspiracy theories but from a legal and logistical point of view it makes little sense.

I have no idea why you needed to throw this in or why you refer to a malware called ave.exe, these are not related to the issue I opened this topic for but such sites can be intercepted with a well-apportioned HOSTS file in windows; you do not need Malwarebytes or any other malware scanner's assistance for that. Having domains and sites blocked by third party applications surreptitiously is almost as reprehensible as the drive-by behavior of those sites.

Finally, please explain to all the dummies here, including me, how a malicious file embedded in an mp3 can be activated, launched or enabled to sprinkle its payload onto the hard drives of unsuspecting users? Such claims fascinate me and I always am eager to learn more.

The Drum King, no need to plug this site to the choir, I know how good it is, I have been here since its founding. What virus was in the Rules section, and more importantly, how did it get there? If SAiNT removed that perhaps he knows more. Is it that virus that earned Audioz the reputation of a malware site and its subsequent ban in Mawarebytes' DNS table? This makes a LOT more sense than the keygen story.

@Caithleann

i am using here linux and i ve never had a problem here, never, ever !!!
ubuntu works just out of the box ( lubuntu is the same even more cpu and gpu efficient)
fedora is the mercedes of all linux distros...or if you are smart you can compile your own system from scratch or with gentoo: even asio, windows emulation, vst and realtime effects and music productions are no problem for linux anymore..
Yes, I would never use protected software when being connected to the net, its as mentioned before not neccessary for me anymore to use bad written, bad compiled, bad distributed and maybe bad cracked stuff...there are many security apps that are a security problem themselves like norton, ( norton itsself wasnt once a bad company-NORTON COMMANDER), like these spy ware removers who are doin a lil too much traffic when updating ;)
the protected mp3 files are usin DRM, digital rights management, and a mp3 cant contain a virus, but here again, flac and ogg are miles ahead from mp3 so no need for me to download mp3s anymore...
most virus attacks are trying to use exploits, which means little errors in your client software, so,if you are using a rare OS ( like self compiled), a rare or unknown internet browser you are on the safe side of life...if you have to browse to dangerous sites you can choose to use a sandbox ( yes, you have to google now) or you can use a browser that runs in a terminal, and though is graphical a little limited...

@Caithleann .. ok, yeah I know about the host file stuff and how to block with all that jazz .. and I know there's many other ways things spread .. I was simply giving food for thought to your question ... I am continuely cleaning my daughters pc and my friends kids pc from related malware due to music files .. when you stream audio it's an open door :-) .. anyhow it really doesnt matter there's all kinds of explainations ... but however I do not use antivirus software for almost 10 years now, believe that, and the virus you all are talking about that was here in the rules section I guess, didn't even effect me .. I started using malwarebytes a couple of years ago because of a couple of adware things that pissed me off .. however I only use a firewall .. so I don't really understand why you would be blocked or why, how anyone would catch a viri .. I leanred my lesson once back in the day of CIH .. never had a prob again since then .. I was just offering food for thought .. and the ave.exe is a new thing derived from av.exe ... anyhow :-) anyone remember tF (theForum) or midiwarez, Deepz0ne, sandor .. hell audio is fun .. :-)

I'm on Mac and never had problem here.
Anyway, welcome aboard again between us

- definitely YES. and we just had this problem in october, when i was mowing countries and had no access to the internet, google blocked Audioz because some kid has inserted an iframe script, consequently you couldn't access Audioz with Firefox (which is good!).. at the end our hoster shut us down until i was able to remove the fucking iFrame.

so yeah, these things are possible, and they are quite easy to do.

I have the FULL VERSION of malware bytes Anti malware

it has no problems with the site

Audioz totally rocks

It seems to me that all AV and anti-pest programs have a lifespan where they are useful, until the makers try to cater to everyone... making their progs 'all-things-to-all-people'. Then they start flagging every little thing and every keygen and every packer etc. etc. At this point I just throw up my hands and uninstall them...

The last to go this route was Pest Patrol.... once the most effect anti-pest prog on the market, I found it has become susceptible to being corrupted, where when PPUpdater tries to update... it goes to sites that are NOT Pest Patrol-related (including ad sites and one that shows as Windows Updates, but a check of the IP shows it isn't going to Microsoft). I uninstalled it.... cleaned the computer and it worked fine again (going to CA again for updates...) only to be corrupted later on.

This is totally ridiculous... An anti-pest product that can't even protect itself... so it's FUCKING GONE!! Best to have a good AV suite (with it's own firewall...), a second independent firewall and something like Spybot S&D and you're set...

Good to have you back Caithleann, bringing life suddenly among the silent crowd with the facts that you've pointed out...

Is niconu still around?

_i wouldn't use that piece of shit, even if it was a last thing keeping me alive.
_that company is a regular corp. cuntlicker, on pay list of all big association.
_c_u:)

It started blocking from today for me. This is what I did to keep the evil side of this app in check:

1 Right click on it's icon in the system tray
2 Click on "IP Protection" to turn it off temporarily if it's active
3 Too bad this is not set permanently so you'll have to do this after every restart.

And yes they are updating this IP block info from a diff server than the usual update server and it gets auto updated without your consent before every scan. Turning it off completely is not advised as it has also saved me from some wicked chinese ips who were very willing to pull some tricks on my box (they were peers in an pub torrent that's how they found my ip ).

IP Protection? I have no such menu item in the context popup after right-clicking it in the system tray. I do have website blocking as an option to enable/disable. Are we talking about Malwarebytes? If yes, what version do you have?

right-click on MBAM icon in system tray. I am using v1.44.

I definitely got a virus from here. I don’t download from anywhere else and I just removed a Cryptominer called Birdminer, and several others that an uploader snuck into one of the downloads. I'm sure it was just a bad egg among us, but it would intermittently boot me off Wifi and made my mac unusable. Just wanted to let y'all know that it happened. Hopefully, we can find out who did it so it doesn’t happen again.
