Anybody else having issues with Malwarebytes popping up malicious website warnings on the DAZ website? This is the only site it's happening on. Using Search in the forum was the worst. Every single click resulted in another warning.

Happens in both Firefox and Chrome.
Nothing here (Premium version).
Nothing happening here, also with premium version
have you got one of those addon scripts people use to sort bargains and sales running?
do you have adblocker on? I do.
it reports many blocked popups
I think it's comming from that ScriptMonkey addon tool people use for sales and sorting. I'd recommend not using such tools.
The last 3 lines of all the pages are probably, as nonesuch00 says, inserted by ScriptMonkey. It's a web-bug tracker (it references a gif of size 0). It looks like the latest update to MalwareBytes is now blocking access to rfihub.com. I just used AdblockPlus to block rfihub.com and the MalwareBytes popup stopped. Just view the pages cource in your browser and scroll to the bottom - the forum isn't letting me post a readble copy.
It happened to me today as well. I do have the premium version.

Did you try with different browsers? Would you care to post a screenshot of those warnings and list the addons you are using? Try disabling each add-on (that could affect the Daz website) one at time and see which one's causing this behavior. You should be able to narrow down the culprit if the warning disappears while disabling a particular add-on.
Without those all we can provide are intelligent guesses based upon inaccurate assumptions.
I turned off every extension in Chrome and it still did it. Have not tried in Firefox.

Edit: Just checked Firefox and it happens there as well. Also disabled every extension and it still does it.
DAZ has cost me more money than any other evil software, so they might be on to something.
I have Malewarebyte Premium, the daz Add-on script for sales on Cyberfox on 2 different computer and not seeing this error yet - I noticed the the add-on had changed features last night, so I wonder if that fixes/triggers the malware popup when I go on tonight
Here's the screenshot. Yes, I do have those add-ons and ad blocker. I'll do some tests and see what happens.
THAT'S IT!!! rfihub.com - I blocked it with AdBlock Plus. Hopefully that will stop the notifications.
LOL! I had the same thought.
A quick google of rfihub found this
Yay... Something else to be worried about when I go online...
Ad Blocker says, "Your filter must follow the AdBlock Plus Syntax". So how would I add something to the filter list?
I have a made typo earlier - I'd recommend removing ScriptMonkey - credit card companies are investigating stealing of some financial informations from me via webbrowser interface as I type this. Lucky I noticed the activity before they could do much damage. Since being on the internet since it's public availibility I didn't have a problem with my credit cards until this scriptmonkey.
There is very good reason napi interface and such are being discontinued.
The good news: We didn't use rfihub to serve any ads on our site, so you're safe there.
The better news: The web team was able to disable the rfihub analytics code on our system, so as the cache clears out for pages it will drop off. I thought I had this removed a while back but it still had something that kept it alive in a config setting that was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'. That config setting has been fully removed now and should be gone for good.
Use jaguars instead
Thanks for the update!
Thanks, DAZ_Rawb for taking care of things.
