Speed Reduction Using IP Protection

[Deke40]

As you can see by the image my speeds drop drastically when using the IP Protection of MalwareBytes.

Is this normal and what can I do about it?

[Deke40]

I should have said "download" speeds.

Didn't know how to edit post.

Another question pertaining to this.

If I turn off "IP Protection" do I still get any realtime protection that is any different from the free version of Malwarebytes?

You need 50 posts in rder for you to be able to edit your posts.

Are you using Comodo firewall?

Edit-Ok.

No, not using Comodo firewall.

I have read the info on the link you provided numerous times but cannot discern if I am better off with the Pro version if I turn the IP Protection off.

I believe this has been discussed before, cant seem to find the post at this time, but AdvanceSetup was able to reproduce the problem on a test computer. They were looking into a fix to this issue.

What operating system are you using? There are some users with Vista/Win7 that do experience this issue while others do not. Exactly why some users do and others do not, we're not sure yet as we've not been able to track down the common element between them.

You can try to temporarily disable the IP protection when you need to transfer large files or you permanently disable it, see the pinned FAQ subject.

File protection and IP protection are different modules so even if IP protection is disabled the File protection still works.

I guess the second part means if the IP protection is off it kind of like having my force field down but my troops will try and protect my files.

Well you can turn IP protection on and off on the fly as needed. Just give it about a minute to take affect.

Thanks for all the input.

Enjoyed the product for awhile and now enjoying the forum.
