  1. Every time I long on to the giveawayoftheday.com website, I get a false positive for the IP 208.94.233.132 address. Would you please check this out, and add it to your white list on a future update? Thanks, Ed Wood
  2. I have removed the bittorrent client, and the dna client from my system. I need help in blocking the torrent ports at my router firewall. I don't know what they are, or how to do that. I have an AT&T DSL connection. I am using a combination AT&T modem/wireless router 2-wire gateway, model # 2701HG-B. I am also running Norton's Internet Security 2010. Are you familiar with how to block access with these items? Also, I have noticed a decisive decrease in IP Protection notification since I removed the bittorrent client. In today's log, the only blocked IP address is 208.94.233.132. It was blocked on three separate attempts at 9:55. Thanks again for your help, Ed Wood
  3. As a matter of fact, I have used a p2p software program to dl the star trek, star trek tng, and star trek ds9 series of tv programs. I downloaded them from mininova.org web site. The p2p program that I used was bittorrent. It is not active on my computer now, even though it is still installed. Is this the culprit? Do I need to remove it? Regards, Ed
  4. Steve, I have run my antivirus/malware/spyware programs and none of them have found koobface virus/worm. I downloaded the freeware Spyware Terminator and ran it. It did not discover the virus. I printed out from the hubpages.com website instructions on how to remove koobface manually. I could not find the virus under the ctrl-alt-del tab (processes running) nor under the add/remove programs tab. I tried to run regedit and do a search (ctrl-f) for koobface and the registery editor locks up every time. I have been to the website of Symantec (I am running Norton's Internet Security 2010) and do not find any mention of this virus/worm. I am at a loss on what to do next. Any suggestions? Regards, Ed PS. I am generating another log today that I will attach to another post tonight or tomorrow.
  5. Steve, Here is a log that I made this afternoon and evening. Maybe this will help in determining why I get so many false positives. Thanks for your help, Ed protection_log_2010_01_19.txt
  6. Steve, After posting this reply, I read the post in the link that you gave me. I have turned MBW IP Protection back on, and will let it run for some time, then I will send you the log. Thanks for your help. Ed
  7. There are far too many for me to write them all down. Every few minutes, MWB will notify me of the fact that it has blocked an IP address. If there is some way to generate a log of this activity, I would gladly attach the log for your use. Let me know how I can do this, if possible, Regards, Ed
  8. Ever since MalWareBytes added the IP Protection to the software, I have received false positives, even when not connected to the web. I contacted MalWareBytes (MWB) about this problem, and was told to right click on the MWB icon then untic the IP Protection feature. I have done this, but every time that I reboot my computer, I must do this again. I have the latest paid version (1.44 - I have been a subscriber since 2006). Has there ever been any patch or repair for this problem? Or, if not, how can I permantly turn this feature off? I am running under Windows XP Professional SP3, on a 2.5ghz dual core intel coprocessor, with 2 gb ram. I have a 1tb hdd and 2 250gb hdds. I am running Notron's Internet Security 2010, MWB 1.44, Spybot S&D 1.6.2.0 and SuperAntiSpyware 4,33,0,1000. I have an AT&T 6.0 dsl connection. I would appreciate any help you can provide, Sincerely, Ed Wood
  9. My system was infected with several trojan horses and viruses. I was running Norton's 360 2008, and that program did not detect any of them. I just purchased Malwarebytes and AVG Internet Security V.8, which found them on the first scan, and removed them. I also have SpyBot SD (free version) installed and running on my system at the same time. My question is: Are there any compatibility issues between Malwarebytes and Spybot SD, or AVG and Malwarebytes? So far, I have not noticed any problems, but I do not want to let anything "slip through the cracks" so to speak. Thanks for your help. Ed Wood
