Where'd this IP address come from?

[Pcobiwan]

I regularly get an IP-Block for a particular page - when I'm not actually on the net. Frequently it is when I am within Outlook using an add-in such as GoToMeeting - so, I suppose that could be considered a web connection. Still, Since it happens with more than one add-in, and more than one program, I'd like to request a way to see which program(s) are trying to redirect to this (or any other) blocked page. I've attached a copy of a current log showing IP addresses being blocked (all the same one in this log).

Hello,

this IP resolves to a server from TeamViewer :

server401.teamviewer.com

http://www.teamviewer.com/

Are you using this program ? This one is ok.

But TeamViewer is not the only one to use this IP :

http://hosts-file.net/?s=124.217.239.120&view=matches

http://hosts-file.net/default.asp?s=124.217.239.120

Thanks Falkra! If I'd half a brain I'd have looked it up myself I think what I'm looking for is more of a quick look deal - rather than having to look up every IP addy that comes across. and yes, we do use TeamViewer. I'll add that to my exceptions because I have noticed occasional issues.

Ok, then you can add this IP to exclusions : right click the MBAM icon after seeing the baloon tip about this IP being blocked, then choose to add it to exclusions list, and it will be ignored.

Wow! I got a deity to talk to me! Thanks so much Noknojon - that's a treasure trove of info. Being a n00b to the forums I'm still fumbling around a bit.
