andremelo90 Posted May 6, 2020 Author ID:1379369 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I guess, ill describe the situation: i use a paid software that is specialized in lowering online games latency, its called noping > their website https://www.nptunnel.com so, in the past few days, i believe 2 days ago i started receiving this popup notification from my malwarebytes then i came here,more preciselly to the help section and started a post, the one linked above. The kind sould @Android8888 analyzed my logs and presumed my pc is safe. But, still concerned i went to the noping website support and asked them about the popup notification and mentioned the ip in question, they gave me the following response: Quote Good afternoon Andre, the IP 203.23.128.148 refers to one of the servers that NoPing uses, specifically Oneprovider Hong Kong. When opening the program, NoPing will ping all the servers it has, including the IP mentioned, it is possible that your antivirus has blacklisted the IP for some reason, but it would not be able to tell you the cause, since the IP of the server at that moment belongs to us, it is possible that in the past the IP has been used by other owners who have used the server for other reasons / functions, and this has caused their antivirus to have put the IP as a blacklist.

Thay still claim the ip is now of their ownership and that the blacklist should be from past events. But they also forwarded the issue to the server management team, lets wait for their repply. Fortunatelly i just noticed malwarebytes has a function to hide notifications when playing in fullscreen mode, ill have to relly on this for a while! Thanks @Zynthesist for your time and kind support! i only ask you guys not to close this until they give back some feedback. Lets give them a couple of days.

andremelo90 Posted May 7, 2020 Author ID:1379451 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Quote Good evening Andre, As we sent a verification request to our team about the server that was related to our chat (203.23.128.148 - Hong Kong). According to NoPing's server manager, this server was purchased by the company about a week ago, and as mentioned in our chat, about 2 to 3 months ago in the TrickyBot virus / malware used on the same IP address ( 203.23.128.148) to carry out the attacks. This caused several antivirus tools to add or IP Address 203.23.128.148 to a black list. In this way, some antivirus services are actually sending these notifications as if you were reporting in our chat. However, again: the blacklisting on this IP was performed about 2 months ago and apparently some antivirus services / companies do not update their blacklist and are still showing the IP 203.23.128.148 as malicious. Anyway, after talking to the person in charge of the NoPing servers, he managed to make a change in the server's IP. The server had its IP changed to: 203.23.128.241 This IP has not been added to any blacklist at the moment, so your antivirus program may fail to point out a malicious connection attempt by NoPing.exe. Any questions we are available! well looks like the problem is finally resolved. Again, thank you guys for all your efforts and time spent on the issue.
