This was just posted by pcbutts1 on his blog at http://pcbutts1-therealtruth.blogspot.com/ MBAM has added definitions to their software that attempts to detect and remove my Remove-it software. They did this in direct retaliation of a post I made in the newsgroups criticizing their new IP blocking technology. I pointed out several flaws and instead of fixing them they block me. I had a friend go through the proper channels and report a false positive. But as soon as it was discovered that the poster knew me MBAM locked the thread and immediately updated their software. You can find that thread here http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21669 You will also find that others have reported the same issues. http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showforum=42 It is clear that MBAB has no intention to remove that bad IP address so I have updated my Remove-it software, it will now disable MBAM so you will be able to freely surf to any website you wish. You can download my software from here http://www.ms-mvp.org MBAM has turned their fight against Malware to a personal battle against me SHAME ON YOU MBAM!

Please don't associate me with pcbutts1 (my name is Sharon). Yes I know you have a history with her but I don't. It was me who found this issue not her and I am the one following the proper procedure to try and correct it.

Godaddy has confirmed to me that they have removed all known malicous websites that "forward" thru that DNS address and has told me that that IP is NOT a shared web hosting address, it is only used as a forwarding address, no broadcasting or anything. They also said they understand why it is bieng blocked but feel it is wrong and unfair for legitimate webites. We did more testing and also found that thier other forwarding address (they only have 2 used for that purpose)is also blocked. They are not very happy.

The site is legit and that IP is not the IP of the site it is blocking. IP 64.202.189.170 belongs to GoDaddy.com all it is is a forwarding IP that GoDaddy uses for it's DNS server. Of the millions of GoDaddy customers who use their forwarding DNS if they install MBAM it will block access to all of those websites. MBAM does not check content of what it blocks it just relies on the truthfulness of the files supplied by hosts-file.net. I am not sure how many other web hosting companies are listed it this list but I am sure there are more then one. GoDaddy is aware of this blocking and I am sure they will be contacting MBAM about this so we will probably be seeing some changes made to MBAM's IP blocking. The concept is good but it does not work correctly.

I would like to report this as a false possitive. When I try to access this site the pop up blocks it.
