I have used program named Temp File Cleaner (TFC) for years but not for quite a while now, maybe a year or even more. I tried running it today and Malwarebytes blocked it with the first message below.
Website blocked due to riskware
Website blocked: wiki.addpcs.com
I searched the WEB to see if that was a known risky site. I saw that TFC listed what may have been a newer version than I have, so I clicked on that link and got the next message below.

I know that in the past some sites that Malwarebytes blocked had to be listed in Malwarebytes as safe sites. I think there are programs out there to test the safety of WEB sites for free. Are there any recommendations what program I should use to test this site? Or maybe someone here knows if the riskware at those sites are malicious.
Thanks

Alternatively, ditch TFC and use Ccleaner instead. I use the 'Slim' version to ensure I get just Ccleaner:

Re: Testing WEB sites For Safety
Thanks. I have used Ccleaner for years. Seems, at least for me, TFC finds files to clean even after Ccleaner has run. Maybe they are harmless files but they are still there.stuck wrote: ↑25 Mar 2022, 15:50Alternatively, ditch TFC and use Ccleaner instead. I use the 'Slim' version to ensure I get just Ccleaner:
