What does it mean when I get an alert about a 'Blocked Web site'? However, Malwarebytes is available as both a free version and premium version directly through the Malwarebytes website. This message will appear when the Malwarebytes web protection blocks a program or your browser from accessing an IP address or known suspicious domain that their research has found to contain malicious content. The list of blocked IP addresses is maintained by Malwarebytes and is constantly updated. Sometimes the blocked web site is triggered by a banner ad that is being hosted on another site, separate from the website you attempted to access. In these cases the site will eventually become unblocked when the banner ad is removed. How do I scan a file, folder or drive with Malwarebytes? In the event of a blocked web site nothings needs to be done, the Malwarebytes protection has blocked the threat from infecting your computer.
Users can scan individual files, folders or drives by utilizing the the right-click context scan option. Open up Windows Explorer and select a file, folder or drive, then right-click on your selection.
Choose the 'Scan with Malwarebytes' option.
