Telos Posted February 17, 2017 ID:1102523 Share Posted February 17, 2017 It is saying rubyw.exe is trying to connect to a suspicious IP. If you are confident this is OK then click "Manage Web Exclusions" to allow the program/site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelCrane Posted March 3, 2017 ID:1106052 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I too get this .... How can I be confident of excluding it if I don't know what it refers to? What is rubyw.exe and who/what is 109.163,233,98? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelCrane Posted March 3, 2017 ID:1106060 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have heard back from PIA and it is safe to exclude it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wszsr Posted March 3, 2017 Author ID:1106067 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I believe it comes from a temp directory and changes every time you start PIA so excluding it does not work. I tried! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_touch_my_buffer Posted March 3, 2017 ID:1106082 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Malwarebytes may or may not support wildcard characters. If it does, this may work for you: C:\Users\User ID\AppData\Local\Temp\?.tmp\bin\rubyw.exe Or the short version: %TEMP%\?.tmp\bin\rubyw.exe Alternatively, contact PIA again and ask them how to run "rubyw.exe" from a predetermined folder and exempt the folder from Malwarebytes scanning......
