I've heard about that. Please post MalwareBytes' response here if you get one. My guess is that they don't like that there are links to stealth miners here.

I've just scanned bitcointalk.org

http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ - Clean

https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/7354af8427d7b8d4236356d0bca680ad3186fce415cb51971f3793cee59e4291/analysis/1385144339/ - Clean

However, I found that hpHosts is currently listing bitcointalk.org - i.e. 'Malwarebytes'.

See: http://hosts-file.net/?s=bitcointalk.org this is probably an error and the admin. should contact 'Request removal' for more info.

Not 100% sure how ads are being served here, but it might be to do with temporarily hijacked 3rd party content and/or in relation to linked content.

This report, I suspect is actually a 'false positive'.

I emailed support, anybody else seeing the same behavior? Disabled the web filter and no problems.
