  1. Thanks for the info. I must have visited this site when I added it to the IGNORE list. I removed it from this list, but it was still coming up (the IP address) when I opened a new tab. I think I've figured out what was happening. I had the default "new tab" setting in IE set to option where it displays thumbnails of the "most visited" web pages. One or more of these sites must have been from this IP. I changed that option and the warnings have stopped. I thought "GoDaddy.com" was a BIG commercial hosting platform....??? How can they stay in business if they host insecure sites? Stephen Porter
  2. I'm pretty green at this stuff, so bear with me. I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium on a fresh drive after my Vista Ultimate (!!) drive crashed. I installed Malwarebytes and started noticing the occasional pop-up telling me this IP or another had been "successfully blocked." Now I'm noticing that every single time I open a new tab in IE 8, after about 15 seconds or so, I get the same popup warning saying the same IP: 68.178.232.99 has been successfully blocked. It's kind of a minor annoyance, but now I'm wondering is there some piece of malware on my machine that keeps trying to let this IP "in"? I don't have a clue. I can't say for sure, but this MAY have started when I thought this warning was being generated when I tried to access a website I was SURE was OK, so I put it in IGNORE list. When I saw the website, it didn't look particularly malicioius, but it WAS NOT what I thought it would be, so I removed it from the ignore list and now I get these constant messages. Here is a snippet of a log file: 21:14:34 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:14:54 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:14:54 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:15:04 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:15:25 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:15:25 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:15:35 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:15:55 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:15:55 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 21:16:05 STP IP-BLOCK 68.178.232.99 As you can see this goes on ad infinitum, and seems to be triggered whenever I open a NEW TAB in IE, as mentioned. Any help or pointers much appreciated. Best regards, Stephen Porter
  3. See above IP. Address is: http://www.ciapca.org/newsletters/Dec05FINAL.pdf I'm 99.999% sure this is an OK site (from a trusted source), but I haven't tried bypassing MWB's block yet. Best regards, Stephen Porter
