    I cant poll my fidonet hub without turning off Malwarebytes.

    Any ideas for Windows 10/11?

    I don't know of any alternatives but can confirm that Malwarebytes causes issues. I had a couple of downlinks get temporarily cut off because they
    were using it on their ends. Malwarebytes uses data picked up from
    crawlers that flag systems that carry older DOS programs whose EXE files
    are compressed with PKLITE and other EXE compressors... which means they
    could potentially flag a lot of BBSes and other websites that have older shareware available for download.

    I used to allow people to download without having a user account but cannot
    do that any more because of scanners like Malwarebytes.
