Dagger Posted April 27, 2013 ID:674411 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I've been getting this address 204.145.83.230, and after a fresh install and swapping to a brand new SSD, I'm still getting the IP block messages from the address. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCharlie Posted April 27, 2013 ID:674423 Share Posted April 27, 2013 No, I'm just pointing out where the ip address comes from:http://atlanticmetro.net/Here's some more information on IP Blocking by Malwarebytes:IP blocks can indicate a number of things: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 include instructions on how to set MBAM to ignore a particular IP, if you wish to do so.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 sticky topic 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 for the available options to have a malware expert assist you with cleaning process Available Assistance For Possibly Infected Computers.MrC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
