Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware version 1.40 introduces an IP blocking module for our paid customers.

The IP blocking module enhances the Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware protection module by tremendously improving protection. When a user attempts to visit a website that is infected, the IP blocking module quickly kicks in to block the connection and alert the user. This IP blocking module is updated every time the database is updated to include the latest IP ranges that should be blocked. It also provides us with an advantage as it blocks malicious software that has not yet been released, which allows us to be proactive and not reactive.

Also, if a Trojan is executed on an infected system and it tries to download a payload, that payload will be BLOCKED by the IP blocking module. See below for a screenshot.

We hope all of our customers feel much safer now that this has been implemented!
