I just noticed an IP block on a strange port.  The outgoing ip address being blocked is amazon seattle.  What does this mean.  The full malwarebytes scan showed no issues.  But no one is sending info on this port.  I thought everything in chrome would be using port 80.  Is it possible I have an undetected infection?

 

I cleared the history, cache and cookies in chrome but I'm not sure that is enough.

 

Here's the log entry.

 

 

2014/03/21 22:47:14 -0400 XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX IP-BLOCK 72.21.215.133 (Type: outgoing, Port: 61058, Process: chrome.exe)

Hello and :welcome:

IP blocks can indicate a number of things:

  • They could indicate that MBAM is doing its job of blocking bad content on websites.
  • 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 in the Help Desk topics HERE and HERE and HERE, and in the FAQ - Section G.

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 pinned topic before starting a new topic in the Website False Positives sub-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 the cleaning process Available Assistance For Possibly Infected Computers.

Thanks!
