    i recently had an ebay fallout with a German buyer. He threatened me and said he could see my ip address? and that he was going to mess me up.
    Weirdly enough that day my Malaware bytes opened up or something did and on install its language was set by default to German!!! Freaky.
    I canceled it but now malaware bytes wont open strangley. it asked me to update to restart my pc.
    i dont want to. Is there anything i can check? Is it possible?

    No, not by just having your IP address. I would say it was just a bizarre co-incidence, but if you wish to check thoroughly for any remaining malware then you should really follow these procedures.
