MalwareBytes~

[snifferpup]

I am getting a notice from Malwarebytes every time I go from place to place on the board which says:

Blocked website 204.145.83.230 may be malicious
Type - outgoing
Port - 50708 (and 49898)
Process - iexplore.exe

This is happening on all pro-boards and even right here on the support site...............I traced the IP Address to Santa Ana California which is in the neighborhood................This is happening to all of my members that have MalwareBytes running for malware protection.................We have about 10 boards within our community with the same issue which started 2 days ago...

Hi snifferpup,

You say that you get the message here on the support forum as well? The main reason I'm asking is because the support forum has been ad-free for the last couple of days, and that IP address isn't owned by us. Can you run a full malware scan on your computer just to confirm that your computer doesn't already have something on it that is triggered when visiting specific sites?

Hi Ricky..............Yes I can run a full scan and will............But just to clarify, I have besides myself, several members that are receiving the same message from malwarebytes................This is only happening on pro-boards and yes, I'm getting the warning on this board as well...................It pops up every time you go to another page~

Just wanted to update, after reading snifferpup's latest post I went ahead and downloaded malwarebytes and can confirm that I get the message too. I've provided the details to our system admins to investigate further. On the plus side, it's pretty safe to say at this point that it's a false positive, but the message is annoying none-the-less. Hopefully it won't take too long for it to get resolved

Thanks Ricky and I'm of the same opinion...and it is annoying...

Here's results of a full scan on my computer~
