Jaypoq Posted April 19, 2014 ID:820771 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hi, I'm a Malwarebytes registered user. I bought the cd long ago because I love the idea of supporting honest companies that produce quality products such as this with new updates being introduced at a constant rate. I have been using this amazing software for many years now but still don't know how to utilize all of its features. I would like to know how to use Malwarebytes to block ip addresses and websites that are dangerous to my computer's health. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 19, 2014 ID:820793 Share Posted April 19, 2014 As long as you have MBAM premium installed, enabling Malicious Website Protection from Settings --> Detection and Protection --> Malicious Website Protection and tick the Enabled radio button, it is on.

I want to know if I can input domain names of websites or ip addresses that are dangerous to block them that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 19, 2014 ID:820807 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I do not believe that currently there is a way to add your own sites to the block list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaypoq Posted April 19, 2014 Author ID:820810 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I do not believe that currently there is a way to add your own sites to the block list.Is there a software outside of Malwarebytes that I can use instead to block sites or ip addresses? How about a Firefox addon that actually works because some of the ones I've used to block sites or ip's haven't really worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 19, 2014 ID:820818 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The easiest way to do so would be to use your built in hosts files for them and redirect them to 127.0.0.1 Truth be told, though, I'v rarely found a site that MBAM, WoT and my ISP haven't already marked as bad. And I use Firefox primarily for browsing, with JavaScript disabled b default on all pages via NoScript, until I deterine it is safe, all third-party requests blocked via RequestPolicy, and advertising, beacons, and Analytics blocked via Ghostery until, again, I've determined they are safe, and finally cookies blocked globally except those I allow via Cookie Monster. Plus, with today's methodology of hosting companies spreading multiple domains over a single IP address, blocking a single IP may block one malicious domain but countless non-malicious domains in the process. That's why I let the experts handle the blocking through MBAM and WoT and my ISP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO! Adding an exclusion preempts MBAM scanning protection. It is for false positives primarily. To UNblock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
