I'm well protected and I don't have any infections. My PC is running really well. Malwarebytes blocks these IP's, and I'm not worried, just a irritation, and was wondering if anyone else gets these.
Thank you!!

Create Account How it WorksHello devper!Yeah, I get these too. My syslog is full of firewall alerts.
Mostly they are zombie computers controlled by malware or script kiddies trying to attack underprotected computers. MBAM blocked this, so your computer is probably fine.
Still, it's a good idea to update your computer regularly; remember that Internet is full of dangerous threats.

Hello Sir! I'm a complete newbie to the computer world. I thank you for your reply. I'm not sure I understand what you are telling me. I get a balloon in the lower right corner, that tells me Malwarebytese blocked a malicious website. I'm not trying to access any Chinese website when I get this warning. They come at any time that I'm connected to the internet no matter what site I'm surfing. I'm able to change my IP address by restarting my PC. This will usually stop these warnings for a while. When I start seeing these warnings pop up, I just restart my PC. Malwarebytes tells me this feature is for preventing malware from getting to my PC before it can get started. I believe them.I think you are both misinterpreting the protection log. The IPs listed have been blocked by MBAM HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention). Using default settings on a registered version of MBAM, you should get notification in your taskbar when MBAM blocks access to a website, or IP address using HIPS. It doesn't function like a firewall blocking IP addresses that are actively trying to access your system, but blocks IPs you, or a website you are visiting is trying to access (often malicious ads are blocked using HIPS).

I see. So this is an IP blacklisting feature.I think you are both misinterpreting the protection log. The IPs listed have been blocked by MBAM HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention).
