My bank had NEVER flagged one of my credit purchases in over a decade so when they do flag one I consider it very SERIOUS. My only remaining concern is with their payment system (that was probably different when you got yours a decade ago). With your Malwarebytes experience listed above you have convinced me they do have a good and reliable product. I am still confused if MS pulled the re-direct first and went back to the original sign in address or did Malwarebytes just accept the re-direct (what you call whitelist)? As soon as it cleared up for me it was back to the original sign in link. Led me to believe it was completely their fault, but I did see the re-directed sign on address which MS did, which indicates both parties at fault.

If I didn’t have this lifetime license I suspect I would simply install Malwarebytes Browser Guard in my browsers for the additional web protection and then run the occasional on-demand Threat Scan with Malwarebytes Free every week or so just to look for any PUPs or malware missed by my primary antivirus.Ħ4-bit Win 10 Pro v21H1 build 19043.1237 * Firefox v92.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v.7 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.4.6.132- * MS Office Home and Business 2019 C2R v2108 (build 14326.20404)
I should also mention that I purchased a lifetime/perpetual license for Malwarebytes Premium over a decade ago (the sale of these lifetime licenses were discontinued in March 2014) so I don’t have to pay an annual subscription for this product. I wasn’t affected by the Microsoft login authentication block you reported in this thread because the false positive block of the URL was fixed by Malwarebytes before I was even aware of the problem.

The Web Protection module of Malwarebytes Premium has prevented the download of a handful of PUPs (potentially unwanted programs like adware, browser hijackers, etc.) and blocked connections to some unsafe sites that were missed by my Norton antivirus, so I’m personally willing to tolerate a few extra false positive detections as long as Malwarebytes continues to fix them quickly once they are reported in their False Positives forum board.

I’ve run Malwarebytes Premium in real-time protection mode along with my primary antivirus (Norton Security on my Vista SP2 machine, Microsoft Defender on my Win 10 machine) for over a decade, and added Malwarebytes Browser Guard to both my Firefox and MS Edge browsers a few years ago ( note that I also use a reputable ad blocker like uBlock Origin or Adblock Plus in my browsers). As employee gonzo noted, improvements are still required to the way the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension uses cached data, but their browser extension detected the URL change for the authentication as it was designed to do.
Once that false positive detection was reported to Malwarebytes the new URL was whitelisted within a day. Malwarebytes Browser Guard / Malwarebytes Premium Web Protection did what it was supposed to do – it detected users being re-directed to a previously unknown URL and blocked the connection. To be fair to Malwarebytes, it wasn’t their fault that Microsoft changed the URL for their secure login authentications this week.
