Malwarebytes possible blocking for Join Game?

[twiigss]

Here is the message Malwarebytes Premium keeps popping up:

Website blocked due to Trojan
____________________________________________________

Learn about Trojan. If you don't want to block this website, you can exclude it from website protection by accessing Exclusions.

IP Address: xxx.xxx.xx.xx
Port: 50058
Type: Outbound
file: E:\GAMES\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Client\Empyrion.exe

I HAVE added this file to the exclusions list in Malwarebytes, and I'm STILL getting this message constantly popping up now. And I have absolutely no clue as to why.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I put an exception for Empyrion in Mbytes and it worked.

Just checked. I have it for both the launcher and Empyrion.exe

Yes, free antivirus/antimalware programs do this all the time.

Are you excluding just the one file?

It's easier to just exclude the whole folder.

I think there were 3 or 4 files at one time that needed to be excluded as mentioned above. The game.exe, the launcher and there was another that I cannot recall.

Okay so first off the messages finally stopped. Not sure why. I'm paying for malwarebytes, but Avast is free version I'm using, although I was only getting messages in Malwarebytes Premium.

So not sure what was going on, but those trojan messages did stop, but I'll probably just exclude the whole folder.
