AntiMal keeps reporting it has blocked an attempted connection with 89.28.22.42. How do I find (delete) the process that is doing this? TCPview shows nothing and this thing is going off around once per minute.

Ran full scans with this and SAS pro to no avail.

Thanks and regards,

Dewey

Hi, DeweyC:

IP blocking can occur as a result of certain legitimate programs such as Skype and other P2P programs.

It can also happen when MBAM is doing its job by preventing bad content from websites from infecting your computer.

But it can also be the result of infection on your system, especially if the IP blocks are "outgoing", and if they occur when no browsers are open.

Please have a look at the FAQ - Section G for information about the IP blocking module. It contains instructions for configuring MBAM to ignore an individual IP address, if you wish to do so. If you want to research the actual IP being blocked, you can try a website such as www.ip-lookup.net.

  • Alternatively, if, after reading the FAQ Section, you think these IP blocks may be false positives, then please read this sticky and then please start a new thread here.
  • Finally, if you think, after reading that article, that you might be infected, based on the IP blocks or other abnormal computer behavior, then:
    1. First, please go to THIS PAGE, print out, read and carefully follow as many instructions as you can, skipping any you are unable to complete.
    2. Then, please describe your computer's symptoms as best you can and post the requested MBAM and DDS logs by starting a NEW thread at the Malware Removal-HJT forum . An authorized, trained, malware expert will assist you in checking and (if needed) cleaning your system.

Thanks, daledoc1
