Advice Needed

I know others have discussed this. No matter what exclusion I add to Malwarebytes, the "Website blocked due to riskware" warning pops up. It does allow me onto Audiogon, but starting today it keeps popping up as I am reading different threads, versus previously just once when first coming onto the website. Does someone have the correct "exclusion" to add to Malwarebytes? 

Moderators, I can't be the only one with this problem, can you provide the correct "exclusion"?


Thanks in advance.

You could right click on the Malwarebytes icon on task bar and temporarily disable while on Audiogon.

Thanks stereo5 for your suggestion.  This has been going on for a couple of weeks or so.  The Malwarebytes pop up says I can exclude the webpage from being considered "riskware", and I have entered audiogon's webpage name and IP address using several different names/numbers and the pop up keeps happening.  Like 10-12 times a minute.  Maybe the "riskware" warning is true.  I have been on audiogon and have had Malwarebytes forever.  The warning says:

"Riskware, or “risky software,” describes legitimate software programs that contain loopholes or vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers for malicious purposes."

I have this issue and get frequent warnings on the forums portion of audiogon from Malwarebytes. It did affect the sales portion but this appears to have been corrected. 

 What I don't understand, perhaps you do, what benefits do I get, other than the disappearance of the 'warning' from Malwarebytes, by allowing this riskware. For myself, I paid Malwarebytes for their expertise and I see no point in disregarding it.

FWIW.
