Malwarebytes is blocking FreeRip site - Edit: Now sorted.

I have used FreeRip for years for ripping CDs to FLAC and mp3 audio formats.
I have just tried to download it from http://***freerip.com (I have added the asterisks to prevent the actual hyperlink appearing here) for my new laptop and Malwarebytes is blocking it as it suspects the download contains a Trojan.
Is anyone aware of issues with FreeRip?
Or is this perhaps an issue with Malwarebytes?
Thanks

A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".

Download is clean according to Defender .
Installed ok after declining Avast
Used Revo to uninstall which ran Freerip uninstaller first but found dozens of leftover files etc when it scanned.1 -
Malwarebytes has blocked Auslogics' Disk defrag for a couple of years now. Have to put a whole bunch of associated folders and files into the Allow List to get Disk Defrag to work.

Thanks everyone. I quit Malwarebytes temporarily and FreeRip installed without any problems.
MB must be a bit overprotective although I have never before had it block something safe.
