WEBSITE BLOCKED, IP address: 255.255.255.255

[Tobro]

Good evening, I'm getting a repeating popup message box from Malwarebytes saying WEBSITE BLOCKED; Site detected as malicious. If you don't want to block this website, you can exclude it.........  IP address: 255.255.255.255, port: 68, Outbound Connection: C:Windows\System32\svhost.exe. I use Google chrome and the only sites visited recently are Facebook and Pinterest. I have Malwarebytes Premium installed along with Kaspersky Internet Security.

Thanks and regards

Tobro

There is another thread on this topic.  I believe it has been addressed by Malware tech support. If you go in and update your malware DB it should solve the issue.  Even if it says you are up to date click on updates and make it search for the new one.

I've been getting the same popup as OP Tobro . 

I use Firefox, just installed Malwarebytes Premium in the last 24 hours. 

Thanks

sweetbeba- still try to update. I think I new update came through literally in the last 15-20 min

Me too and my software has the latest updates.  I am getting really sick of this software.

Solved. Just looked some earlier replies and updated the already current database and it seems to be cured, at least it's gone from 3 times a minute to none in the past 15 minutes.

I have the same problem with Malwarebytes Premium 3.3.1.  The problem just started today. 

For example:   Website blocked  

IP address:   255.255.255.255

Port:               17500

Type:              Outbound

File:                C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe

There are also two other Website blocked alerts that are the same except for different Port: no. and File: program.

Same thing was happening on another home computer with this program installed.

After finding this thread, and getting an account here, I tried to force an update, but always responded with none available.  I started writing this post and I persisted trying to force an update.   Finally, just a few minutes ago it found and installed a new update....

Since the new update I have no more "Website blocked" alerts!  Good news, but several hours shot....All seems to working fine again.

Please update your DB Version, then restart MBAM after the update. This should resolve this. If not then please post your protection log and we will review further.
