On multiple occasions (including just now), I downloaded the free version of CCleaner from FileHippo and received a 'Malicious Website Blocked' error returned immediately after clicking on the green "Download" button at the bottom of the "CCleaner Free" column using the following URL: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?upgrade.
I believe it's being flagged/blocked by MalwareBytes (current version on my pc is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.2.0.1024, which was last updated on 02/21/16)
I would like to continue updating CCleaner, but it makes me nervous when i repeatedly receive these messages immediately after being auto directed to the FileHippo website.
Do you know anything about this? Is this a faulty message flag somehow?
Why is a "Malicious Website Blocked" error returned when downloading CCleaner from FileHippo?
