Hello, thewhizz:

Why is Malwarebytes' blocking my antivirus?

It isn't, but it may appear so because of the process name shown in the pop up which belongs to your antivirus. This can happen if you use an antivirus software that intercepts all incoming and outgoing internet traffic to look for infections which makes Windows think it is your antivirus initiating the connection and thus Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware thinks the same thing. In the below example you can see that the process name is avp.exe, which belongs to Kaspersky Anti-Virus even though this block was incurred by using Internet Explorer:

Are you browsing when this happens?

Or is this happening when you are not even using a browser?

Especially in the latter case, it may be a sign of a computer infection.

Until one of the experts or moderators stops by to advise us about this particular IP address (whether it is bad or a possible false-positive), please have a look here:
