Topic: Images not loading for last several days, but only on one PC

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

idk if this is the correct category since it's clearly an issue with my computer, but I didn't know where else to put it. For the last few days, no images have been loading for me. The forums obviously load, the main page loads, but images don't. If I try to load an image directly, it immediately gives me "This site can't provide a secure connection, static1.e621.net sent an invalid response, ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR." It's not an issue with my adblockers or Malwarebytes Browser Guard, because it still happens if I turn them off. It happens in incognito, and it also happens in Firefox as well as in Chrome. It's also not an issue with my ISP, because it works perfectly fine on Wi-Fi on both my phone and my notebook.

I know it's an issue with this machine, but I haven't the faintest clue what the issue could be. Anyone have any idea?

If the machine has MalwareBytes AnitMalware installed on it, MBAM is blocking the e621 image server. Specifically just the image server.

They think it's compromised. Mine has been throwing me warnings about e621 for a few days now.

EDIT: Looks like there's another thread talking about this, too - https://e621.net/forum_topics/35070

Oh, I didn't think to check Malwarebytes itself. Should've been obvious. Added the image server's IP to the allow list and it works just fine now, thanks.
