  TWOMINUS, I use malwarebytes , but only as a cleaning tool, I never use the monitoring side of it.

  Mine as never found anything untoward from WGT including the ads and vids.

  What you could try is , disabling the monitoring side of it, or Malwarebytes altogether, re-visit the page that is giving the confict, then re-start MWB and run a scan, I think this will prove what your getting is indeed a false positive.

  though MWB is a very good tool, it also can be very sensitive. Hope this helps.

  Cheers Mushy. Looks like ive nothing to worry about then. Maybe thats the problem, as i did a whole heap of uninstalling programmes the other day, and realised my MWB was gone. Installed it again the other day, and it figures this has began since the re-install. Cheers man.

  If I'm not mistaken, malewarebytes has a tendency to warn about some tracking cookies. There are several things under more offers that may not want to deal with. Especially if you download anything. I do it because I'm pretty sharp with computers and can get rid of most anything that comes along. There are also some pretty decent programs on there as well. But I must stress, if your knowledge is limited on spyware, maleware or trojans, be very wary of downloading anything under the more offers section.
