csutak40 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I have been happily using uTorrent for years. It is seeding as I write thisI just purchased Malwarebytes Pro (have also been using the free version for a long time, but got convinced that the Pro version has advantages).No sooner did the install finish, when these warnings started popping up in the taskbar. It was no mean feat getting a screen dump of some of them. Impossible to read, they disappear too fast. Managed to catch a few of them: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/slp169fyu2o0y7h/EyauHhO8OcI can't find a report from Malwarebytes anywhere, to get a list of all the ones it keeps finding. And, it keeps finding them! One every few minutes. So, now I don't know if this is something to worry about (that is, are these really malicious websites?) or are they false positives?And, either way, what do I do? Malwarebytes does have an "IgnoreList" but to use that, I would have to find the list of these things it keeps finding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csutak40 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Sorry, I'm new here, please be nice! :/ I don't think it is paranoia, but it is a bit annoying to have these popups every few minutes. I have now stopped all the ones seeding, there is only one more running that is still downloading. The IP addresses are not the ones that Malwarebytes keeps finding.If I was paranoid, I'd stop using uTorrent all together. I was simply asking what can I do to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPandB Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 MB is blocking according to their list of IPs known for hosting malware. It is normal and has more to do with the protocol of P2P than Utorrent itself.You can read more about it including how to disable the popups here > http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=126405 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsillup Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I don't think it is paranoiaDWK means Malwarebytes is being overparanoid, not you. You need to find out how to set Malwarebytes to ignore the connections that uTorrent is making, try asking their support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
