ElijahD Posted October 22, 2022 ID:1538889 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Hello, about last week My malwarebytes flooded with IP alerts. They all came in at about the same minute, I am worried these IPS are malicious but since I forgot my malwarebytes password, and the person who pays for my supscription isnt available right now I cant check if they were inbound/outbound. Someone PLEASE check the IPS I am nervous they were malicious. 5.252.194.139 (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/f46f73ce97d0a413b4b0d9b63ec69f24cca813e57a4cdaa0717b21b191ed4031) 5.252.194.191 (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/b6a2d475f6ba13dac680e66da29db6cf37a49de0779c399486645c3acf6a4d81/detection) 81.198.171.1 (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/cb17a35574f2e02e2cbeb8bb926eb1b8a8f77a901e2ed720f366155cf8d1a2ef/detection) 81.198.171.7 (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/81.198.171.7/detection) 42.237.165.121 (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/42.237.165.121) Please someone help, im really worried right now.

You are talking about the tamper protection password in the program. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we wait for staff to review, I want to pass some info on to you, Staff will check the IP and if not bad anymore they will delist it. It must be due to some server(s) the games are trying to connect to. Steam and many others use p2p connections to play online. As long as the games aren't at risk for connecting to malicious content (which they shouldn't be), you should be able to simply exclude the games' executables from Web Protection using the method described under the Allow an application to connect to the Internet section of this support article. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElijahD Posted October 22, 2022 Author ID:1538898 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Alright im not gonna worry too much about it then, Part of me thinks its from a game I was playing called "World War 3" Which uses its own launcher accessed by steam...

thisisu Posted October 22, 2022 ID:1538908 Share Posted October 22, 2022 At least one of the IPs had some Linux malware on it. We see this often when P2P games reach out to random compromised servers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted October 22, 2022 ID:1538911 Share Posted October 22, 2022 If you want to keep protection on but do not want to see the alerts during gaming you can do the following. Play Mode (Premium only) Play Mode allows you to hide Malwarebytes notifications when certain programs are in use. We recommend turning on this feature during movies, gaming, and presentations. If you want to add an application to Play Mode, click Add. The Add an application window appears: Enter the app's full path and file name into the Select an application field, or click Browse... and navigate to the file. You can then add a name in the Application name field to help you remember what the app is. When the added app is running and Play Mode is toggled on, Malwarebytes will not display notifications on screen. If a notification occurs that requires you to take action, Malwarebytes will delay the notification until you close all apps that are configured in Play Mode. You can Edit or Remove any apps you have previously added to Play Mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElijahD Posted October 22, 2022 Author ID:1538939 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Alright so it was probably just from a game? Not compromised? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
