I use Firefox and Malwarebytes blocked it.
If it get's blocked, why are you trying to go to the site anyway ?
This is the info MBAM gives.

if you get this page blocked whatever page you try to load then this looks like you may already be infected with something that is trying to access this page.

If this is the case then it's better to move your issue to it's own thread to get more specific help

Hi:

a few observations:
MBAM blocks certain domains and IPs for a reason.
This KB article explains IP blocks: What does it mean when I get an alert that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has blocked a malicious site?
If you can reach the site, but IP block notifications occur when you are on it, then MBAM is likely blocking malvertising or other malicious content on the site. If you cannot reach the site at all, then MBAM is likely blocking the IP/domain/site itself because of malware.

And having said that, VT reports a clean scan of the URL: https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/74c5b65a4d1570e6601090177cc80509ee19b218f8facd6f8b0ff1188676f60b/analysis/1466507569/

So, there's a possibility EITHER that the MBAM block *might* be a false-positive, OR that something else may be going on with your system (e.g. malware infection). We really don't have enough data to know fo sure.

We could probably better assist you if we could please see the actual MBAM PROTECTION log showing the IP blocks. The instructions for locating and exporting that log as a *.TXT file are HERE . You can attach it to your next reply.

If you think that the IP block might be a False Positive, then I suggest posting the requested information (IP, URL and, if possible, an MBAM Protection log) in a new post in the MBAM website F/P forum HERE.

If you think that you might be infected, then, as previously suggested by others earlier in this thread, then I suggest starting a new post either in the security section of this forum, or at one of several reputable computer disinfection fora. A trained malware expert will guide you for free through scanning and cleanup, using the tools needed to diagnose and remove the malware.

Thanks,
MM

{P.S. Perhaps the forum staff may split off your original post and all of the subsequent replies to a new, separate thread, as they do not really pertain to announcements of new MBAM software builds.}
