Advice Needed

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.

FWIW, I use ESET’s well regarded NOD32 anti-virus program (but not either of ESET’s security "suites"), in conjunction with Firefox and Windows 10. I have never seen any such warnings while viewing any pages at Audiogon.

My guess is that the warning you are seeing is being triggered by an ad, although of course I have no way of knowing whether the warning is or is not a false positive. Ads on the site are apparently provided via Google’s ad service, and presumably are not hosted by Audiogon. And different users will see different ads depending in part on what other websites they have previously viewed.
