Porthos Posted January 7, 2022 ID:1496622 Share Posted January 7, 2022 As for why Malwarebytes blocks Steam, Epic and other games, this is because Steam/Epic is Torrent based software, are what are known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications meaning it connects to many different servers/IP addresses (this is how files are downloaded through Torrent based software) and because of this, sometimes Torrent based software will connect to a server that is also known for hosting malicious content. This is because servers/IP addresses are often shared by multiple sites, so while what you are Playing/downloading through Torrent based software may be perfectly safe, some of the sites hosted on some of the IP addresses that Torrent based software connects to may be malicious. Such connections are not a threat however, and you may exclude Torrent based software from the Web Protection component in Malwarebytes to stop the blocks from happening without compromising your protection (your web browser and other critical web facing programs will still be fully protected from malicious websites and other malicious content). To do so, add the game exe to your exclusions using the method described under the Exclude an Application that Connects to the Internet section of this support article. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikachuSquad Posted January 7, 2022 Author ID:1496633 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If I don't add gta v.exe to the exclusion list does that mean I can't keep playing the game? I'm worried because that ip address is from China. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried because that ip address is from China. It means the blocks will remain and interrupt the game. You can always use play mode so the alerts will only show after you close the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisu Posted January 8, 2022 ID:1496649 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hi, Just for reference the reason we are blocking that IP address is due to this path: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/1845ed83aa2b0d65d31c5cb2b3c78841a7dfde4ee1d975f77eb16d59b72ba55e/details Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
