Malwarebytes Pro detecting malicious site
Got this pop-up from Malwarebytes Pro while checking out a server on Steam:

(end)


So is this a false positive or what? I was viewing the server located at IP: 23.235.225.107:27045

All I did was right-click it and view server info then Malwarebytes went nutty a few seconds later. First time I've seen it block a website but I'm guessing it's not a malicious one. Anyone know anything about this? I tried to post a question to Steam's support but can't login due to the captcha they use...

Any help is appreciated. I won't be able to view it until tomorrow due to the nature of my work. Thank you in advance.

Just did. Will update tomorrow with their reply. I hope I gave them enough info to figure it out.

Every time I update the server list, Malwarebytes catches that IP again. This time it's catching it through port 57991.

I apparently got a reply from MalwareBytes almost two weeks ago but didn't see it because gmail hid it in between my original message to them and the auto-reply from them. They asked me to download and run FarBar. Some kind of tool that scans a few areas of the computer. I kind of think they don't exactly know what Steam.exe is. lol

The final verdict was that something was trying to mess up my computer from a Steam server, basically. They had me fix my registry. Well, this is what I'm guessing from what I emailed them and they emailed to me. Probably best to stay away from the Steam servers. They're P2P and that's never a good thing to use, if you don't want malware.

really, it sounds like you opened something on your computer that changed something on the computer and created the issues.

I'm helping investigate something right now that would be easy to get people to download and install but would totally fubar the system. It's far more likely something similar happened to you than anything coming from Steam.

I know no part of Steam itself that uses P2P. Some games, maybe... not Steam itself.

Well it's complaining about IP: 74.91.118.239

Which is:
NFOSERVERS (Game Hosting Server Provider)
Nuclearfallout Enterprises, Inc.
United States San Jose
Internap Network Services Corporation

Quite possibly being used as a server host for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and other online games.

Blackhole exploit kit 2.0 detected in the past.

Website with that malware/exploit has been suspended in the past however, just still probably blacklisted under Malwarebytes. You need to ask them to recheck and update their database.
