blippo Posted July 10, 2010 ID:282041 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm getting block IP message from malewarebytes and I don't know what to do about it. The IP it's blocking is 208.73.210.28. I get this blocked many times when I'm online on this laptop. I did a quick scan and nothing showed up. Is my computer infected with something?

I just uninstalled it, see what happens. I don't have BitTorrent or those other things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have BitTorrent or those other things. Bingo!! Tony, thank you so much. I uninstalled Skype and the problem with the IP blocking message is gone. So far so good today, I haven't had any of those messages anymore. Mark :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
