gun86 Posted September 3, 2011 ID:472338 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hello, i had some earlier tabs open at firefox, and then a while later 208.73.210.48 got blocked. I was not browsing new websites. Could this ip belong to any add-ons of firefox? Is it malicious?IP-BLOCK 208.73.210.48 Process: firefox.exe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryFCM Posted September 3, 2011 ID:472341 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The IP belongs to Oversee, so something on your system is trying to access something that no longer exists or has yet to be created (botnets frequently do this).Please have your machine checked;http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=9573 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, could it be, that an application of a firefox-addon was trying to connect to this ip address? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryFCM Posted September 3, 2011 ID:472349 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It's entirely possible, it depends on which browser you've got set as the default (if FF is the default for example, it could also be something using Firefox to try and access the site - a packet log will show which is the case).
