perz Posted April 1, 2017 ID:1114242 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Just today, MalwareBytes Premium started blocking outbound connection attempts by sync-eu.exe.bid. Curious as to what it is and why it just started blocking it today. http:// Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dashke Posted April 1, 2017 Staff ID:1114261 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hello perz, Unfortunately, the whole .bid TLD is blocked at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbbasile Posted April 4, 2017 ID:1114746 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Not sure what this means. Will this continue to pop up regualrly? What is happening? I don't understand.. It been popping up for me this way: Malicious Website Protection, Domain, 136.243.131.49, sync-eu.exe.bid, 51649, Outbound, C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
perz Posted April 4, 2017 Author ID:1114754 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I updated MalwareBytes to V.3.0.6.1469 (I use http://ninite.com/ (recommended) for all my software updates) and no more popup warnings. Suggest you do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbbasile Posted April 4, 2017 ID:1114757 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Apparently this is a BETA version? I am running version 2.03.125 on WIndows 7. Any suggestionss about how this might affect anything? Thanks, Barbara Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
perz Posted April 4, 2017 Author ID:1114762 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Barbara, I'm running WIndows 7 Pro and no obvious problems, bugs or changes, except that sync-eu.exe.bid is no longer being reported via popup. You could try this latest version and if it doesn't suit you, revert back. I'm a software hoarder! I try to keep a copy of previous versions of software. I even have Firefox 1.0PR from 2004 and MalwareBytes 1.41.0.0 from 2009, which is how long I've been using MalwareBytes. If you've got an extra hard drive laying around unused, use it to store previous software versions on. Might come in handy some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
