I am getting Malwarebytes alerts for a Trojan in certain threads.

My Malwarebytes is saying "clipartmax" has a Trojan virus. It is in threads where people have hotlinked something from that site. The picture isn't coming up on my computer, it only shows a broken link. I did find one poster with it when I inspected the source. Should I let him know?

It’s my main phone browser now for general browsing.

I use most of the security settings. Some are site by site and some are general. For a few sites, I i turn off the “scripts blocking “.

See the red icon in top right of a window . User interface is good but not perfect on a small screen.

Scroll down is usually needed to see each setting
