erniemink Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I need to report something that BitTorrent may be doing that can be dangerous. Consistently during the running of BitTorrent, my anti-malware program Malwarebytes is popping up a message that says it is blocking a malicious malware website. The Domain is listed as: IP: 89.28.122.78, Port 54076, Type: Inbound, Process: C:\Users\erniejm\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe. Since peer to peer software can be the cause of malware and virus problems, this program is doing it's job, and I need to know how to rectify this issue.
mdmike52 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 My Malware Bytes is also blocking multiple Inbound and (mostly) Outbound web addresses. It is very annoying but I am unsure weather to allow these websites. Can anyone explain exactly what Bit Torrent is trying to do here, calling up all these different web addresses??The requests always comes from: Users/myname/appdata/roaming/bittorrent/bittorrent.exe. Are These dangerous ?? Mike
mdmike52 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 OK. I am going to do a Full Disk backup (clone) then start putting all the Bit Torrent blocked sites in the "allow" list and see what happens. What's the worst that could happen ? (Famous Last Words !! ) Will get back to this thread in a week or so with results. Mike
