David H. Lipman Posted September 15, 2014 ID:879071 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Peer-2-Peer (aka P2P) applications invariably contact sites in the block list. Please be patient and wait for Steven or Andrew to reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H. Lipman Posted September 15, 2014 ID:879075 Share Posted September 15, 2014 What do you mean "is it a virus" ? It is an IP address. Is there malicious activity at that IP ? I don't know. We will wait for Steven and/or Andrew to reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H. Lipman Posted September 15, 2014 ID:879081 Share Posted September 15, 2014 An IP address is like a Phone Number. Someone dialed out to a phone number that is on a list. We don't know if the phone number is for a Hospital or if is the number of a local gangster. At this point we only have the phone number. We will wait for Steven and/or Andrew who will look at a Phone Directory and see what the phone number is being flagged for. Then they would see if it is a current or past problem. If it is a past problem that was corrected, they will pull the number from their directory. If they see that there is an ongoing problem, then it will not be removed from the list. We will wait for Steven and/or Andrew to reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Spud Posted September 15, 2014 Staff ID:879088 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The IP will be looked at. As for your issue, Steam is just pinging the IP so the threat will be minimal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryFCM Posted September 15, 2014 ID:879215 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It's not an F/P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H. Lipman Posted September 17, 2014 ID:879818 Share Posted September 17, 2014 f/p (FP, F/P) are shorthand notations for False Positive. Steven (MysteryFCM) has indicated the IP Address in question is not a False Positive. That means there is a justification in MBAM blocking ingress/egress to that address. Since you have related it is a Steam game and associated with P2P activity just note that Steam is tryin to communicate with the site but that does not indicate you are infected or you may get infected with said communication. In this case I suggest you continue to allow MBAM to block the site and just ignore the associated Pop-Ups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
