Malwarebytes has block access to IP

Hi,

I have just installed a new version of malwarebytes (1.44) with IP protection.
I keep getting a notification stating that it has blocked access to rogue I.P's and can not fathom out what is causing it.

07:30:49 Gary IP-BLOCK 69.31.87.197
07:58:08 Gary IP-BLOCK 121.8.214.143
07:58:42 Gary IP-BLOCK 94.96.210.93
07:59:07 Gary IP-BLOCK 58.241.135.165
08:13:36 Gary IP-BLOCK 222.186.70.193
08:13:48 Gary IP-BLOCK 62.45.126.183
08:29:06 Gary IP-BLOCK 121.8.169.101
08:29:18 Gary IP-BLOCK 58.240.193.69
08:45:32 Gary IP-BLOCK 89.28.48.252

Above is a section of the malwarebytes log.
as you can see the times vary and it does not matter if i am using the p.c or not.
I have checked the IP's and they are from China, USA, Saudia Arabia etc.
I have done a full scan with AVG malwarebytes and A squared and they have not found the issue.
Also went through system processes and could not find an obvious rogue one.
The p.c. is running fine and my internet connection has not slowed or anything but the notifications and the cause are driving me mad.
I am using windows XP.

Does anyone have any ideas. ?

thanks

Gary

 

This is a reality of the internet. There are bots and worms and spiders, etc constantly scanning IP addresses, looking for vulnerabilities to exploit, and data to scrape. (Hence the necessity of a firewall) I wouldn't worry about it, it sounds like your application is doing its job, but perhaps there is a way to configure the notification to be less of a nuisance?

 

Thanks

but are you sure these are inbound attacks.
I am worried that it is my p.c trying to send something out !!!
If these are standard inbound attacks then everyone with malwarebytes would surely be getting the same problem as me flagged up.....
If not why am I getting them.

 

With the volume of them, yes, I would expect that they are inbound. (Does malwarebytes not give any indication of the direction?)

However, if you are really concerned, there is always the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide available for your peace of mind.

 

no indication of the direction is given

 

do you think it would be advisable to install zone alarm or similar to see if this gives me more information about the problem i.e. inbound or outbound ?

 

I have had similar experiences with MalwareBytes and continue to do so. At the notification area of the taskbar i keep getting bubbles that say its blocked a potential malicious website, but when I try to run the intruding IP's through whois, and DNS IP trackers it comes back saying user doesnt not exist.

I am including an attached txt file which is just 1 of todays logs, you will be quite suprised how big it is
