Malwarebytes False Positive Website Blocking
Today on my Win 7 and Win 10 systems, Malwarebytes Premium flashed notifications that it had blocked outbound requests from (background) Dell programs, preventing access to "malicious" websites.
Specifically, it blocked:
1) DellUpService.exe (C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell Update\) from accessing daws.azurewebsites dot net
2) DFSSvc.exe (C:\Program Files\Dell\Dell Foundation Services\) from accessing stannum-sub.azurewebsites dot net
As I was writing this, I see that it has already been reported in the Malwarebytes forums by several folks, and acknowleged as false positives which will be corrected:

This should only affect those using the paid version of Malwarebytes, and its real-time protection. I would note that after using MB3 Premium on all my systems for many months now, these are the only FPs I have seen.
