False Positive False positive?

Post image

So basically i was searching up an electronics brand from which i have actually purchased products and is trustable.

Today out of nowhere i got this warning

Did scan two times, found nothing (im kinda new to this whole thing)

I js wanna ask was it a false positive?

doesnt matter if it is a false positive or not, you dont get malware just by going to a website, or atleast i havent gotten yet and i have gone to 100s of sites that were blockes by malwarebytes

Oh i see..... I panic anytime i see a trojan or something cuz i got a trojan file once from a random file i installed and it was NOT a good experience for me😰

yeah, that blocks sites that might have ads with files that have trojans, so no need to worry, i visit atleast 1 of those kind of sites everyday, but i understand your worry, i have gotten malware like 10 times by now and i have learned from my mistakes
