hi,

for about a month now, nearly every single time i turn my computer on malwarebytes will block (supposedly) malicious ip addresses. i'm not particularly sure if it's a false positive, but it will block it even when i'm on google or i don't even have firefox opened. i've run multiple scans and there is no infection. the list of ip addresses it has blocked is as follows:

208.87.33.151

64.111.196.117

66.179.234.169 (ctrlaltdel-online.com)

212.117.173.174

212.117.174.171

212.117.174.173

212.117.174.172

68.180.151.74

81.169.145.86

the pop ups are pretty random, except on certain sites (which i've listed next to it in parentheses). the ip addresses beginning with 212 are the most random and appear the most often.

i'm just trying to figure out what exactly is going on and what i can do to stop it. i was wondering if it was a virus that malwarebytes doesn't recognize?

thanks!

hi,

thanks for the reply! however, i was also wondering what might it mean if the bubble pops up and i'm not doing anything on the machine (in the faqs, it says that if such a thing happens, it suggests i have my machine looked at.) does it mean something's wrong with my computer?

thanks!
