Hi, adam30:

MBAM is not actually blocking the WEBSITE, but rather the IP upon which it is hosted.

This may well indicate that MBAM is doing its job because there is malicious content on that IP range.

The IP blocks can also occur when running certain P2P and other programs, such as Skype.

For example, please see this recent post by forum Admin AdvancedSetup about IP blocks and Skype.

In some cases the blocks are a false positive.

However, they can also be a sign of infection, especially if the blocks are outgoing and they occur when no browsers are open.

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

---> It includes instructions on how to set MBAM to ignore a particular IP, if you wish to do so.

It also contains instructions on how to determine what process might be trying to make the connections.

And you may also research the IP in question at www.ip-lookup.net or a similar site.

On the other hand, if you think the IP blocks might be a false positive, then please read this article before starting a new topic in the False Positives forum.

Alternatively, if you think you might be infected, based on the IP blocks and/or other suspicious computer behavior, then please read the following to begin the cleaning process.

• Please print out, read and carefully follow the instructions in the "I'm Infected - What Do I Do Now?" article.
  
• Then please start a new post in the Malware Removal forum.
  
• An authorized, trained malware expert will provide free, one-on-one assistance as soon as one becomes available.
  
• Please be patient - someone will assist you as soon as possible.
  

Thanks!
