:think: Interesting indeed. I think that's only if you have live protection (which I don't) enabled. I don't need it, it just comes down to common sense. If a site looks suspicious then chances are it is. Use your head, you'll be fine :yes:

Yeah its on the real time protection module with a option in the tray icon to turn it on and off.

Nice addition to prevent the urges for going on dodgy sites for that "keygen" you really want.

For some reason I cannot disable the IP Protection in Win7. I could disable the normal protection but not the IP protection at all.

I know they never advertised support for Win7 as yet, I just expected it to work fully anyway.

Does it just notify you when you try to connect to a "bad" ip, does it block it automatically, or does it ask you what you want to do?

I have to ask because on my Win7 installation here it just shows up a notification in the tray area but I don't know what action it performed although I assume it blocked the connection and I have no say on the matter :(.

On XP here but yeah the tray icon just notifies you that "Malwarebytes IP Protection : Infection Detection IP XXX.xx..." with no options of what to do or real explanation as to what exactly was detected. I already turned it off like after 5 minutes of having it on, considering I was even surfing at the time and all I had on was mIRC and uTorrent. After a bit of testing I found that it was uTorrent randomly causing the notifications, I guess certain peer requests or whatever were setting it off. There are logs in the All Users\Application Data folder under Malwarebytes but they don't say crap either other than the specific IP and "(IP-BLOCK)", so looks like it just blocks connections but nothing about what "infection" it detected. So looks like they got a bit of work to do before I turn it back on.

Yes you are correct, uTorrent is triggering the IP-block that I received. I decided to find out the source of the ip and here is what I found:

os75dx.jpg

C:\>nslookup 67.212.71.76
Server: LeetDNS1
Address: 192.168.2.1

Name: rss.bt-chat.com
Address: 67.212.71.76

Turns out this stupid IP block feature is blocking bt-chat.com, I guess we can see what their version of a "malicious website" is and where this trend is heading. I am surprised they didn't also block pirate bay. It's nonsensical ideas like this that ruin a good program, these MBAM programmers better get some common sense soon.

Atleast it seems that my previous problem is fixed somehow and I can disable and enable it as normal so this feature will stay disabled. :D

I hate that when I right-click scan a file, this software makes the UAC prompt appear. I mean how annoying is that? Hardly any other security software does this, if they fix it then I will happily use... :rolleyes:

I just right clicked the Mbam icon residing in the system tray and unchecked the "ip protection" entry in the menu list to turn that off. I'm running 7 RTM. I think it's turned off now, afaict.

The first time I tried doing that and clicking it a hundred times and it just refused to turn off. Then later it starts working miraculously. Weird things are happening because I am 100% sure it was left disabled last night when I shutdown and this morning when I boot up my PC I see IP protection enabled somehow. :dunno:

Well now I see it. My mistake. I hope it doesn't irritate me.

Maybe every time a user reboots, protection starts up with everything (including ip protection) enabled every time. But when I just come out of sleep, it doesn't re-enable IP Protection. So since I don't reboot that often, it's not that big a problem for me. But hopefully, in a future version, they'll put a switch to turn it off permanently in the main program interface (and not just on the icon).

I can only echo what has been written in this thread. There is a serious problem with version 1.40. On my main (Vista) computer where µtorrent is running most of the time I had problems with pages being blocked all over for no reason after updating to 1.40. So I had it uninstalled to be able to continue my work.

On a clean Vista computer I have the same problem with disabling IP protection. In order to be able to deactivate it from the system tray you must first disable activate protection and then disable ip protection. But on reboot ip protection is still on. Disabling active protection all together does not work either. It stays on after a reboot.

Shew, good thing it's not just me, I was beginning to think something was wrong with my pc alone. It seems I may have to "unbuy" MBAM for the time being and leave it as an on demand scanner. I may have to revert to Windows Defender as secondary real-time scanner but I am hoping I find something better.
