avastsvc.exe

[ChromeDome]

I have all avast files and specifically avastsvc.exe in the exclusions. Why does MBAM Pro continue to block avastsvc.exe?

I love the protection MBAM Pro offers but it it keeps blocking avast why keep the real time protection?

The outgoing IP alert indicates that an process on your system tried to load a malicious IP and was prevented from loading content onto your system. No action is required unless you're also experiencing malware symptoms or there are multiple IPs. A browser is not required to be running, just an active Internet connection with processes running, such as IM clients, SKYPE or P2P software. These are also triggered by banner ads running on websites.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 will show the process, but neither Windows 2000 nor Windows XP have the structure in place for this to be displayed by our software

Please see the link below which contains our FAQ's(including reporting false\positives and adding IPs to ignore) on this feature for more information:

• Why is Malwarebytes' blocking my antivirus?
  
• It isn't, but it may appear so because of the process name shown in the pop up which belongs to your antivirus. This can happen if you use an antivirus software that intercepts all incoming and outgoing internet traffic to look for infections which makes Windows think it is your antivirus initiating the connection and thus Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware thinks the same thing. In the below example you can see that the process name is avp.exe, which belongs to Kaspersky Anti-Virus even though this block was incurred by using Internet Explorer:

Thanks Porthos! After reading your expanation I now know both avast and MBAM Pro are working as advertised. I will leave the real time protection "on". I never did see the "avp.exe" example you refered to.
