Blocked Access form "malicious IP"

[mwhoody]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about being blocked from a "malicious IP" Sorry it it is and please admin move if necesary.

I have been going to this one forum for quite a few years and since I reformated my hard drive and installed Malwarebytes it is telling me "Malwarebytes' Anti-malware has successfully blocked access to malicious IP: 217. 23.x.xxx"

My question is how do I get rid of this annoying popup by my taskbar? I am assuming that the site I have been going to is not in anyway Malicious because it has never given me any problems in the past. Or is Malwarebytes finding something there and blocking it?

I'm new to this forum. My first impression - looks great.

Thank you

Apologies for taking so long.

I need the IP and domain name affected please.

That's OK, I just unchecked the IP Protection and it seems to be fine

Thank you

Hi, I'm receiving this message: 'Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware has successfully blocked access to malicious IP: 64.135.77.30'. The pop-up appears at least once every minute. I'm running Windows XP, Spyware Terminator & Malwarebytes.

Do you have any suggestions?

When is this actually occuring? (i.e. whilst browsing, or when there's nothing loaded?). The IP itself is associated with at least 20 malicious sites at the last check.

The message pops up whether I'm browsing or not.

Looking at your log shows the Crawler toolbar is the likely culprit;

http://hosts-file.net/pest.asp?show=64.135.77.

Uninstalling the Crawler toolbar should resolve it, and I also noticed you've got the Ask toolbar installed, which I'd also recommend removing.
