I have Malwarebytes on all of my machines ( bar this one) for the last couple of days it has been blocking the site alleging it has a Trojan. I do not wish to unblock it on my other machines as they have " mission critical stuff". Anyone else had the problem?

Virustotal is reporting one positive currently, but all the others are clear

I experienced this, as well. I had to suspend the program for a week to make that stop. Now no work units for Asteroids@home will upload. Is there a trojan that's causing this?

I also suffered this problem, and I raised a support ticket (3108345) direct with Malwarebytes. I have today received a reply from Malwarebytes, saying:

I have asked the researchers to check this site for you and I have been told that this block will be lifted.

I'm interpreting that to say that this was a false alarm all along - they make no mention of removing any actual malware.

If you continue to get warnings, you are advised to ensure that your copy of Malwarebytes is fully updated.
