ip blocked at system start with nothing running

[rocoyanna]

Malwarebytes runs at system start and before any programs are launched it reports that it has blocked ip 117.198.194.43.

Any ideas who or what is trying to get to that site? Is that site a known threat?

Thanks.

if it is blocking that IP more than likely it is a treat.

it is hard to determine as to why you get it at startup without us knowing what programs on your computer start up automatically. For example if you have some P2P software that starts at startup that could cause it.

We would have to see some autorun logs to try and help determine the cause.
