I got this IP block in MBAM 85.17.184.224.

Probably a false positive.

IPnetinfo reports this:

Thanks for the info. I'll check IPvoid as you mentioned from now on.

I'd wait for an official reply from AdvancedSetup or MysteryFCM before I went there though. Sometimes MBAM blocks certain IPs because of the servers they're on, the whole IP block of numbers, etc. OR, softarchive.net *might* deal in grey software. :blink:

EDIT: Changed typo from .com to .net -

Thanks, but what are those? (AdvancedSetup and MysteryFCM. And true .. softarchive.net has 'grey' software and the like.

They can tell you why that IP is blocked by MBAM as they run the lists. :blink:

PS: To get the name of the site I went through a bunch of websites that track IPs, domains, email reps, site reps, etc, until I found it. There's probably an easier way but I just stumble along until I find out what I'm looking for. :blink: I have no official standing here and I'm not an expert - IP/DOMAINS are just a hobby of mine. BTW; even tho' MBAM blocked the site, when I did a Google search, Web of Trust, FinJan Secure Browsing and Browser Defender all said the site was OK. Grey software is not exactly a "warez" site but it's not an official distribution either..

Right, and thanx again. By the way softarchive.net IS a warez site :D

This is not a false positive (and I suspect you already knew that, and knew exactly what the IP belonged to before the domain was even mentioned by ShyWriter). Aswell as warez, the site is involved in phishing (via nowdownloadall.com) etc, Leaseweb were already notified when this was first blocked, so as soon as the site is gone, the block will be removed.

I kind of got that I'd been had when we got to the grey/warez portion of the comments. I was surprised tho' that all the sites I ran it through for ID said it was clean. In fact, I think I ran it through your hpHosts site and never got a ding either. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong when the sites I check pass the URL/IP-void scans and when I check them on Google, they show good via WOT, FinJan and Browser Defender??
