Worm Notifications

[miata15]

I get so many notifications from Malwarebytes that "worms" have been blocked, that's a good thing. However it would seem that there are so many sites I visit to include this site where I get this notification. Is the web that unsecure that these "worms" are all over the place?

Hi miata15   

a) We need specifics about the block from your Malwarebytes Reports history.   We need to know the specific website name & or IP address  for each block event.

b)

For Your Information:

The website  Block message indicates that a potential risk was blocked by the malicious website protection. 

The Malwarebytes web protection, by default, will always show each IP block occurrence.

The Malwarebytes Webs protection feature will advise customers when a known or suspected malicious IP is attempted to be reached (outgoing) or is trying access your PC.

 

See our info page https://www.malwarebytes.com/lp/ip-blocking/?ipblock=true

 

Incoming block notice can be ignored, our software is blocking the threat and there is nothing more that can be done.

On Outbound blocks, any attempted connection was stopped.

 

No action is required unless you’re also experiencing malware symptoms or there are multiple (different) IPs (ex;123.23.34 and 4.44.56).

 

c )

In Malwarebytes.
Click the Reports button ( on the left )
Look for the "Block"  or "Exploit" that has the most recent Date and time.

When located, click the check box for it and click on View Report.
Then click the Export button at the bottom left.
Then select Text File (*.txt)

Put in a name for that file and remember where the file is created.

Then attach that file with your reply. Thank you.

Hello.  How are things ?  Are you still with us ?

[miata15]

Yes I am. Still getting a lot of "blocked" worms, that's a good thing, however the internet seem to be infested with this issue. Go figure???

Hello.

When the block notice shows up, are you looking at what web browser & other of your programs are running ?

It is important to do that.

Plus,   I would like to have a diagnostic readout report.

We need to get information from this machine in order to have the proper detail to help you forward.
 NOTE: The tools and the information obtained is safe and not harmful to your privacy or your computer, please allow the programs to run if blocked by your system.

    Download Malwarebytes Support Tool
    
    
    Once the file is downloaded, open your Downloads folder/location of the downloaded file
    Double-click mb-support-1.4.0.623.exe to run the report
        You may be prompted by User Account Control (UAC) to allow changes to be made to your computer. Click Yes to consent.
        
    Place a checkmark next to Accept License Agreement and click Next

    Do NOT use the button “Start repair” !
    Click the Advanced tab on the left column
    
    Click the Gather Logs button

    Upon completion, click a file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your Desktop. Click OK

Thank you.
