malwarebytes ip blocking hero image

Hey, what just happened?


Your Malwarebytes malicious website blocking technology has blocked outgoing or incoming communication between your computer and a malicious Internet Protocol (IP) address. That’s a good thing. This communication could be:

  • An attempt to download malware onto your computer
  • An attempt to redirect you to a malicious webpage
  • An attempt to deliver malicious advertising

If you are receiving these notifications without a browser being open, we recommend you run a scan with your Malwarebytes pronto to check for malware on your computer.

Important: Using the free version of Malwarebytes? Read note below.

Note: The malicious website blocking feature is only available in Malwarebytes Premium. If you are using Malwarebytes, this feature is enabled as a part of your free 14-day trial of Malwarebytes Premium that started when you installed Malwarebytes. At the end of your 14-day trial, this and all other premium features will no longer function unless you upgrade to Malwarebytes Premium.
