All of a sudden today this keeps popping up?

[Splitisoda]

A pop up in the bottom right of my screen from malware bytes keeps showing up. I think it said it blocked an outgoing attempt to the website "thefavoritedog.com" and it said that this was the IP address: 195.234.4.452 . Is there any way to figure out what is causing this? I had malwarebytes scan my computer and nothing is infected, I tried the same with avast and nothing either. I haven't even really used the internet much today, I only went on reddit for a short while and it showed up. Any ideas?

Hello and

IP blocks can indicate a number of things:

• They could indicate that MBAM is doing its job of blocking bad content on websites.

• They can also occur when running Skype and certain P2P programs, such as torrents. For example, please see this help desk topic about Skype and this one about P2P.

• In some cases the blocks are a false positive.

• However, they can also be a sign of infection, especially if the blocks are outgoing and they occur when no browsers are open.

--> There is more information about the IP blocking module in the in the Help Desk topics HERE and HERE and HERE, and in the FAQ - Section G.

They also contain instructions on how to determine what process might be trying to make the connections.

You may also research the IP in question at www.ip-lookup.net or a similar site.

On the other hand, if you think the IP blocks might be a false positive, then please read this pinned topic before starting a new topic in the Website False Positives sub-forum.

Alternatively, if you think you might be infected, based on the IP blocks and/or other suspicious computer behavior, then please read the following for the available options to have a malware expert assist you with the cleaning process Available Assistance For Possibly Infected Computers.

Thanks!

Hmmm....interesting. It appears to be an IP from a Ukranian website. I scanned my computer and didn't detect anything...I'll try some other things thanks.
