If anyone knows how to contact Xigmatek, please let them know that their website has been blocked for fraud and malware by Malwarebytes.

 

Please use a VM if you visit it, just in case it's not a false positive.

Added warning

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

No problems here, but then I am not using Malwarebytes.

 

Take care and good luck.

I had no idea they were still around since I haven't seen a store with any of those products in many years. I still have a cooler sitting from + 15 years ago not being used. I'm guessing its probably one of those sites tracking what you view to spam products. I suspect Redragon and many other companies do this these days.

Maybe, but that seems doubtful. MB has many categories with which to mark a site as dangerous, and a spamming site would probably not be marked as fraud and malware. I could be wrong, though.

https://www.newegg.com/Seller-Store/XIGMATEK Xigmatek doesn't have a store on Amazon, but it does on NewEgg...Whatever that implies. 😉
