mbam keeps blocking 193.107.16.82

[rocoyanna]

with absolutely nothing else running mbam keeps blocking 193.107.16.82. what is going on? is the site bad at all?

mbam reports no infections and so does ESET antimalware.

thanks for the help.

Hello,

I would ask that you provide some added information. And suggest you review (if you have not already) section G of the notes regarding MBAM & IP blocking at this link

Does your system have a router between your pc and the internet connection?

Are you using the Windows firewall or a 3rd-party firewall? If the latter, which one?

More to the point:

Does the system have any sort of "torrent" download app or any so-called "peer-to-peer filesharing" ?

Does it have running any sort of instant messenger program?

Have you downloaded any sort of multi-media file (video or music or whatever) from an untrusted or unknown source?

Yes, router and powerline switch are connected

Does it have running any sort of instant messenger program?

No IM programs

Have you downloaded any sort of multi-media file (video or music or whatever) from an untrusted or unknown source?

No music, video or pictures downloaded.

And to make sure nothing is running I reboot and look in task manager.

Thanks.

Hi -

A quick retrace of the IP shows it is located in the Seychelles Islands - Usually a fake site but not harmful -

You have most likely clicked on an item and now have a Tracking cookie or similar item in your history -

Try Free SUPERAntiSpyware to remove the tracker and go to Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk CleanUp -

What does this notification mean?

This notification means quite simply, that an IP address has been blocked. It does NOT necessarily mean you are infected, it simply means a program on your computer (e.g. your browser, IM program, P2P program etc), tried accessing a malicious IP address. If this notice was presented when you were not actually doing anything on the machine, then I suggest having your computer looked at.

Please print out, read and follow What do I do now? , skipping any steps you are unable to complete.

This sends you to our experts area -

Thank You -

Using the link noted by noknojon, DO do the preliminaries and open a New topic in the Malware Removal HijackThis sub-forum.

At minimum, get MBAM updated and then do a quick scan and have it quarantine anything it tags (if any).

We want to know if the same IP block continues to show up.
