Hello and :
 
Web exclusions are only available to users with the Trial or Premium versions.

The Free version does not offer real-time Website Protection.

 

>>Do you have the Trial or Premium version, or only the Free version?

 

And it is only available for Vista SP2 and above.

 

>>Are you running Windows XP?
 
From the User Guide:
 

Web Exclusions
This screen allows users of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium and Trial versions to exclude IP addresses, Internet domains and processes from Website Protection. This screen is disabled for users of the free version, because Malicious Website Protection is disabled in the free version.
Please note that this is not a method of blocking access. It is exactly the opposite. Unless you are a knowledgeable computer user, you will likely find out what needs to be excluded because of blocked access to a web site and resulting notifications that alerted you to the block. A screenshot of this screen is shown below.
 


For demonstration purposes, two entries have been added to the Web Exclusions list shown on this screenshot. These are described here.
 
Add IP
Clicking the Add IP button allows you to exclude an IP address from Malwarebytes Website Protection. You should not use wildcard characters in the IP address to be excluded, as exclusion of IP addresses which you are not familiar with can compromise your safety. You can also add an IP address exclusion when it is blocked by Malwarebytes Website Protection by clicking the link in the block notification message.
 
Add Domain
Clicking the Add Domain button allows you to exclude an internet domain from Malwarebytes Website Protection. You can also add an internet domain exclusion when it is blocked by Malwarebytes Website Protection by clicking the link in the block notification message. Please note the following two important items:

• If adding a domain manually, you should add it both with and without the "www." prefix. Depending on several external factors, the domain may still be blocked if only one variation is entered.
• The ability to add a domain to the Web Exclusion list is only functional on Windows Vista Service Pack 2, Windows 7, and Windows 8.x.

Add Process
Clicking the Add Process button allows you to exclude a process which would otherwise be blocked from accessing an internet address. Please note that this option is only functional on Windows Vista Service Pack 2, Windows 7, and Windows 8.x. This is typically of value to users who need to access filesharing and/or peer-to-peer applications. On occasion, IP addresses used by these applications may be blacklisted, so that Malwarebytes Website Protection blocks access to the website as a whole. Excluding the IP address makes the user more vulnerable, as would exclusion of the domain (if the website uses a domain name). Excluding the process — providing that the process is not an internet browser — would allow the P2P application to function without increasing risk.

Remove
It is a very simple process to remove an IP address, domain or process from the Exclusion List. Click on its entry in the Exclusion List, then click the Remove button. It will immediately disappear from the Exclusion List, and will no longer be excluded.

 

If you need further help with this, please read the following and attach to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: FRST.txt, Addition.txt and CheckResults.txt)

 

Thank you,

I have XP/SP3 and premium version. Is a way for Xp to show it? because some website has dynamic ip. not convenient to type one by one.

Hello:
 
A staff member will correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think that the feature is supported under Windows XP.
 

From the User Guide:

• The ability to add a domain to the Web Exclusion list is only functional on Windows Vista Service Pack 2, Windows 7, and Windows 8.x.

As Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, I don't expect that the MBAM developers will be able to devote resources to add this feature for a now-defunct version of Windows. (IIRC, the XP APIs do not support adding a domain in the MBAM website blocking function.)

 

Again, a staff member will correct me if I am wrong.

 

Thanks again,
