Several visitors to my site, http://kevincarmody.com , have reported that Malwarebytes installed on their machines is warning that my website is blocked due to a Trojan, or that it may contain a Trojan. Your site says that this warning arises because the IP address or IP address range is known to be malicious.

The IP Address 173.248.191.184 was found to have a negative reputation. Reasons for this assessment include:

  • The host has been observed sending spam in a format that is similar to snow shoe spamming techniques.
  • The host is unauthorized to send email directly to email servers.

That's interesting as there is no mail that has left that IP address in well over 5 years. All of our email leaves our outbound mail scanners.

Malwarebytes is the only security software for which I have received complaints of false positives for my site.  It appears you might have a systemic problem with false positives of this sort.  It might save you some time, if not legal headaches, if you investigated and fixed this issue.
