alot of IP blocks

[HurtMePlenty]

hi i got alot of IP block messages when going to trusted sites, and once i got an IP block message when i was playing crysis single player with no browser open. i only managed to remember one address 195.216.243.45

do u think theres a virus on my computer? scan shows nothing and i just build it on 24th december last year. i dont visit any naughty sites (real thing is much better lol), but recently ive visited alot of tech sites because im doing some research on which graphics card to buy, and i remember i got ip block messages at least once.

oh btw i just got an IP block on 208.73.210.29 when going to this site

Hello and welcome to MBAM:

In addition to noknojon's excellent advice and until he returns...

IP blocks can indicate that MBAM is doing its job of blocking bad content on websites.

They can also be a sign of infection, especially if you are not using P2P software, and if the blocks are outgoing and occur when no browsers are open.

There is more information about the IP blocking module in the FAQ - Section G.

It sounds as if you might be infected.
