Hello and welcome to MBAM forum:

IP blocks can indicate a number of things.

In your case, it probably relates to the use of torrents & (possibly) being infected, as torrents are a nearly surefire way of picking up malware :

• They could indicate that MBAM is doing its job of blocking bad content on websites.
  

• -->They can also occur when running Skype and certain P2P programs, such as torrents.. For example, please see this help desk topic about Skype and this one about P2P.
  

• 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 (and in the Helpdesk topics HERE and HERE).

They also contain instructions on how to determine what process might be trying to make the connections.

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 - it may be 48 hours or more before a helper can assist you, especially when the forum is very busy.
  
• Please do NOT "bump" your topic or reply back to it for at least 48 hours.
  
• Doing so may cause your topic to be overlooked, as it will appear that you are already being helped.
  

Please be patient - someone will assist you as soon as possible.

Thanks!
