Malwarebytes is blocking traffic to nfoservers

Post by doulos9 »

When I open steam and use the server browser to refresh all servers I get the following message from malwarebytes:
2014/01/12 13:13:14 IP-BLOCK 74.91.117.49 (Type: outgoing, Port: 53876, Process: steam.exe)
2014/01/12 13:13:22 IP-BLOCK 46.21.150.220 (Type: outgoing, Port: 53876, Process: steam.exe)
2014/01/12 13:14:02 IP-BLOCK 74.91.117.49 (Type: outgoing, Port: 63030, Process: steam.exe)
2014/01/12 13:14:10 IP-BLOCK 46.21.150.220 (Type: outgoing, Port: 63030, Process: steam.exe)
Both of those IP's are registered to NFO. What is steam trying to do, and should I shut off malwarebytes before starting steam?

Thanks

46.21.150.220 is not one of our IP addresses. 74.91.117.49 is one of our IP addresses and runs a regular game server here, so it does not have anything to do with a malware site.

This is probably another false positive for their software. After previous false positives, I am not a big fan of theirs. I would recommend just disabling it.

Whoa, you are right. When I looked up the IP's I must have copied the same one twice.

Ok, I will disable malwarebytes before connecting.

Thanks
