My paid Pro version of MalwareBytes keep notifying me it is blocking access to a certain IP address –
here’s the log entry:
IP-BLOCK 204.51.78.248 (Type: outgoing, Port: 49569, Process: firefox.exe)
I ran the IP on VirusTotal and it’s apparently a clean site, so I’m not sure what’s going on here.
I’d be a bit hesitant to disable MBAM and see what’s at that address. A full scan earlier today removed
“Trojan.Tracur,’ will rerun the scan. I’m also using MS Security Essentials, along with OpenDNS on my
router. I don’t usually get this kind of hassle, so I’m wondering if contacting that IP is something Firefox does
during regular use.
geobytes.com says it’s in Miami, FL but I’m fishing for more information.

A reverse IP lookup at domaintz.com has this:
[TABLE=”class: list-view”]

Any clues? Thanks for the help!
