IP Blocking

[SolarSolar]

It would be reassuring if there was a page that listed blocked sites, is this possible?

I had P2P software some time ago but have uninstalled it after contracting a virus, assistance was through Bleeping Computer. I believe that I should have no malware etc... running but still have IP addresses being blocked when no browser is running. I would like to know if the site/s being blocked are actually harmful or not.

Here is a list of recents; 89.28.92.40, 89.28.0.22, 62.45.168.185, 94.96.204.162.

Is there a way I can check this myself?

You can put the numbers into Google....but this is the one I use:

Seems like the sites are bad sites, but, I would like to remove the program that is trying to access the sites without my action.

Thanks... not a bad lookup site for a free version.

that is a nice find

Thanks... not a bad lookup site for a free version.

The trouble is that this doesn't really say anything about whether the site is indeed problematic. I've got a small free program from NirSoft called IPNetInfo on my computer that gives pretty much the same information, but neither it nor the one mentioned here tells me anything about the site's reliability. Or am I overlooking something?

OK, thanks. I have read through everything.

I already have Mbam and avira installed for some time and have been running them. I assure I can skip the steps pertaining to them?

Also, i am unsure of the following "DeFogger - Re-Enable (only run when instructed to when your system is clean again)" So, I do not re-enable drivers until my reports have been responded to by a Malwarebytes rep and i have followed the proceedures they have asked me to do, and my system is clear?

Correct. Basically there are a couple of recent rootkits that are harder to detect when CD/DVD virtualization software is running. Once your helper gives you the all clear then you can re-enable any such software.
