Constant inbound IP being detected

[Yackdude]

Malwarebytes keep detecting and blocking this inbound IP, 41.233.113.234, Port:3857.
I'm happy Malwarebytes is doing it's job well, But I'm worried by what this could be.
Here is the log.

It appears to be Skype-related.  Its common.  Good guys AND bad guys use Skype, so if a bad guy's IP address is on the list, you will see this.  DO NOT set an exclusion, even though seeing this is irritating. That could cause problems for you.

[Yackdude]

Is there any possible way to stop this IP from trying to connect?

Hello Yackdude:

 

Though not acceptable for some, quiting the Skype application will most likely stop all assaults against that incoming port, making incoming friendly Skype calls not possible.

 

Another alternative is to make complaint to the originator's service provider.

 

However you can take comfort in knowing that Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware IP Protection Module has been doing its job protecting your system.

 

Thank you.
