Malware bytes has blocked access to a potentally malicious website

[andreat]

Hello, not sure whether this is the righ forum to post this. So apologies if it is not.

I have the Malewarebytes Pro version installed on my machine - 24Hr protection.

I got ths message whilst browsing - Malware bytes has blocked access to a potentally malicious website (IP address) outgoing.

I have closed the window immeditately and ran a full scan which found nothing.

Could you please advise on whether I should perform other checks to make sure there are no threats on my machine; for example to run other maleware removal software as you advise users to do in other forums in your website?

Thank youf oryou support.

Best

Andrea

Hello and welcome, andreat:

In addition to Eagleeye's suggestions, please refer to this KB topic: What does it mean when I get an IP alert about blocking a 'malicious' site?

It explains the signficance of the IP blocks (especially if you are running Skype, P2P & similar software), & how to proceed with getting help checking your system, if you suspect that the IP blocks might indicate infection.

Thanks!
