WHY does my Maleware-Bytes continually have to block attempted outbound connections to various emails at various amazon.com locations.

Most recent example as follows:

Malwarebytes www.malwarebytes.com

-Log Details- Protection Event Date: 3/30/18 Protection Event Time: 11:58 AM Log File: 50dbff14-344c-11e8-a61c-e89a8f9cddb1.json Administrator: Yes

-Blocked Website Details- Malicious Website: 1 , , Blocked, [-1], [-1],0.0.0

-Website Data- Category: Unspecified Domain: katie.runtnc.net IP Address: 34.192.108.247 Port: [55140] Type: Outbound File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Scanning does not find the malware which obviously is embedded in: C:\ProgramFiles(x86)MozillaFirefox\firefox.exe

Please respond.

Chosen solution

Seems my suspicion was correct and you were more than full of nasty things. Yes delete them and reboot as per the program. You can Google the below names and will turn up : TidyNetwork is ad virus FindWide is a virus PlaythruPlayer is adware iWinToolbar is malcious

These were all the things connecting to the net that you were seeing. You should be clean after deleting these things. As well should no longer have that issue.

Always be aware of programs you install that carry other programs they do not tell you about.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
