MalwareBytes Premium Identifies Acronis True Image's update as malicious site, blocking access
MalwareBytes Premium, version 4.5.12 always Identifies Acronis (True Image 2021 Build 39287), one of my purchased products, as malicious, blocking that program's update.
A few days ago, it blocked 194.26.29.195 and 91.240.118.77. It has also blocked other Acronis sites. These blockages are a few times a month. Is it legitimate, and should I unblock \Acronis\agent\bin\updater.exe permanently?

Check out this feedback I received from MalwareBytes Tech support, in the attached file. When I explored the links they showed, it appears that the servers that Acronis is attempting to access are compromised. They're recommending that I do NOT unblock those specific sites.
Let me know if you concur that this could be a "hidden" issue with Acronis updates, and what if anything I should do knowing this "risk".
Note that this forum won't allow hyperlinks to be pasted, so I provided an "image" of the note that Malwarebytes sent me as an attachment.
Thanks, Alan Chinnici
