mbam.exe and Amazonaws

[Mackenzie]

Hi to anyone who can assist. I have Malwarebytes Pro on my laptop and also on my desktop PC. Laptop running Win7 64bit, and PC running XP pro SP3 32bit.

I am amazed at how many IP's Mbam blocks. [i have usually used the free version for years]. I have recently changed my AV to Avast v7, and on both my laptop and PC, Avast pops up saying Mbam.exe is trying to open a web page - Verisign class 3 code signing 2010 CA. The second popup from Avast states Mbam is trying to access amazonaws.com

On both of these occasions, I have been reading a web page, not touching anything at all. All I could find out on the web is that amazonaws is for web creating. I do not visit Amazon nor do I create websites. I have told Avast to "deny" until I know more about it. Could someone tell me please if I should be allowing Mbam to access what it wants to? I know this may be a silly question, as we trust Mbam.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Cheers

Greetings

I'm glad to hear that you're pleased with our product and I appreciate the kind words.

Regarding the Amazon site, that's just Malwarebytes Anti-Malware checking in with our servers for updates and stats etc. It's quite safe to allow it.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Thanks

Wow.... Many thanks Exile for your kind quick reply. I will now change the firewall rule to allow all for Mbam.

Have a nice day.

Cheers
