MBAM 3.0.6 premium blocked something in Skype?

[Pernaman]

I installed newer MBAM 3.0.6 and got automatic premium trial with it. Today just a while ago I got "website blocked" notification for the first time, but it seemed to be targeted towards Skype. I checked the list of reports and it had three identical reports with exact same date and timing. Apparently whatever was blocked was from skype.exe. It also had an IP addres which doesn't belong to me or my household's router:

IP: 203.87.129.135

C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe

False positive maybe?

What's confusing is that on the MBAM menu it showed it ha 6 instanes of realtime protection detecions, but these three reports where the only ones on the report list from this past week Iäve used premium trial.

Hi Pernaman

Please read the following article to understand why Malwarebytes can block certain connections Skype makes.

https://support.malwarebytes.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1835328-why-does-malwarebytes-anti-malware-block-skype-?b_id=6438

You'll need to add skype.exe to the list of excluded processes.

I'm going to make a slight change to what Aura said here.  In the "Manage Exclusions" section, there is not an entry for processes.  There IS one for Applications.  An exclusion should be made on the Skype application.  I'm saying this because making the wrong exclusion could make the computer vulnerable.

Thanks for the correction Michael I don't have Malwarebytes 3.0 at work so I can't really double-check the exact instructions :/
