  1. Ah-hA! Exclude the application! That will be fine. And then I'll get rid of the exclusions. Anti-virus is running. Wow: 7,368 posts. 23,014 posts. Y'all are the center of civilization. Thanks, -nei1-
  2. Looks like I've made 15 exclusions on my torrent manager's behalf, so far.
  3. Dear MWB (MalWareBytes), Howdy. Due to lots of MWB pop-up warnings while using qBittorrent, I did a little reading and found that MWB is blocking some IP addresses that are used for torrent tracking. Attached image is an example. MWB makes it easy to exclude these IP addresses so my torrent manager can continue doing its thing. On a tangent: it's sharing, not stealing. The pop-up warnings state that all the "blocked" connections are "Outbound." Creating exclusions allows those necessary Outbound connections to go through for my torrents. But if I understand correctly, it also opens the door to Inbound connections from those questionable IP addresses, which is relinquishing more control than is necessary. My concern is that by creating "exclusions" for these IP addresses, my computer is left prone if one of those IP addresses want to do something bad to my computer besides the innocuous torrent-tracking. My suggestion: Therefore, I suggest being able to set Malwarebytes to "exclude" Outbound and Inbound connections independently. Perhaps when the user creates the exclusion, there could be a choice immediately whether to exclude both or one or the other. Certainly, that would add a little more complexity to Malwarebytes, which is never a good thing. And if there's no other situation that could benefit from separating the Inbound from the Outbound, then it would be difficult to justify adding the option. But it was an idea, so I thought I'd pass it on before it died of loneliness. Thanks, nei1
