Jan 17, 2010  Hi, I just bought the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. And now that real-time scanning has been enabled, I'm getting a constant popup message from the task bar Malwarebytes icon telling me that Malwarebytes has successfully blocked access to malicious ip address 193.104.22.70. Pdf to word converter for mac security?.

Below is an example of a website blocked notification. The website blocked notification above shows the following information: The website's Domain. A domain refers to the name of the website, such as www.malwarebytes.com. Excluding a domain may not exclude all parts of a website. The website's IP address. The anti-malware software MalwareBytes may block certain websites if they are associated with an IP address that is known to contain malicious content.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about being blocked from a 'malicious IP' Sorry it it is and please admin move if necesary. I have been going to this one forum for quite a few years and since I reformated my hard drive and installed Malwarebytes it is telling me 'Malwarebytes' Anti-malware has successfully blocked access to malicious IP: 217.

23.x.xxx' My question is how do I get rid of this annoying popup by my taskbar? I am assuming that the site I have been going to is not in anyway Malicious because it has never given me any problems in the past. Or is Malwarebytes finding something there and blocking it? I'm new to this forum.

My first impression - looks great.

Question In v1.40, Malwarebytes introduced Malicious Website Blocking into Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, to prevent the user being infected in the first place. The following is information on what this does, and how it works. Answer What does Malicious Website Blocking do? Malicious Website Blocking provides an additional layer of security for your computer, by preventing access to known malicious IP addresses and IP ranges, for example, NetDirekt, which is host to the. How does it do this?

When you ask your browser to connect to a website, Windows uses DNS or the HOSTS file (depending on configuration), to convert that domain name into it's corresponding IP address (e.g. Example.com 1.2.3.4). Malwarebytes Anti-Malware intercepts the packet communications, to determine whether or not the IP address is known for malicious activity, and if so, blocks the communication. How does it inform you? Malwarebytes Anti-Malware informs you a malicious IP has been blocked by presenting a bubble notification at the bottom of the screen (next to the system tray). What does this notification mean?

This notification means quite simply, that an IP address has been blocked. It does NOT necessarily mean you are infected, it simply means a program on your computer (e.g. Nexus 2 mac torrent site:www.reddit.com.

Your browser, IM program, P2P program etc), tried accessing a malicious IP address. If this notice was presented when you were not actually doing anything on the machine, then I suggest having your computer looked at.

I got an alert and I wasn't even surfing, how's that happen? There are many applications on your system which have access to the Net and any of these can trigger an IP alert with no browser open. Most common offenders are P2P applications and IM clients, usually an ad will trigger an alert. An advanced or premium firewall will be able to give you a list of programs which can access the Net. I received a notification on a safe site, why? If a notification is presented on a safe site, and the site loads, it is likely the site was loading content that is hosted on an IP known for malicious activity. In this case, the site itself will be displayed perfectly fine, with the malicious content being blocked.

If however, the site does not load, it is likely the site is also hosted on the same malicious IP address. It is also entirely possible that the site in question, shares it's IP address with other malicious domains. IP's and IP ranges are blocked if they are either dedicated to malicious content, or have a higher proportion of malicious content, than non-malicious. So for example, if 1.2.3.4 contains 1000 sites and over 50% are malicious, then 1.2.3.4 will be blocked (and even then, if we can get the hosting company to take down the malicious sites, then even better as we do not like blocking shared IP's or IP ranges if we don't have to). How do I disable this? I wouldn't recommend disabling it, but if you must, you can do this by right clicking the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware tray icon, and unchecking 'Website Blocking'.

I got an alert for an IP or website I think is safe, how can I report it? If you find a site being blocked, and either don't know why, or are sure it's safe, please report it to us at the. IMPORTANT: When posting false postive reports, please ensure you post both the IP address affected, and if applicable, the domain name (e.g. Does the Malicious Website Blocking replace my firewall? Absolutely NOT!
