Malwarebytes Premium

[Xenophon PCDGS]

All of a sudden this afternoon, Malwarebytes Premium has begun to cause pop-ups to appear stating there is a problem in accessing Wikipedia. It was fine this morning and the problem only began to show itself when I logged on this afternoon. It now refers to Wikipedia as a malicious website.

Has anyone else with the Premium version encountered any similar problems?

It is now asking to see if TLS 1.0. TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are installed in Advance Settings, which they are.

The block you are experiencing is not on the Wikipedia/Wikimedia domain, but rather the 91.198.174.192 IP address which is currently housing a Command and Control (C2) server for the Locky file encrypting ransomware. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is blocking the IP address based on this. Unfortunately, Wikipedia/Wikimedia also makes use of this IP address. Therefore, this IP block may impact use of Wikipedia.
If you wish to circumvent the block, you can add the IP address as an exclusion within Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. For Home users, this can be done as follows:

• Open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
• Click the SETTINGS tab.
• Click Web Exclusions.
• Click Add IP.
• Enter 91.198.174.192 and click OK.

Once the Locky C2 server is cleaned up on the 91.198.174.192 IP address, the block will be removed.

People have reported success with this, but any moment now you'll find it's no longer blocked, by the sound of it.

I carried out that last advice and am now able to access Wikipedia once again. Many thanks for the advice.
