Some info on 111.111.111.111 - http://oxhat.blogspot.com/2013/06/tracking-down-culprit-pandoraserviceexe.html

I still have the IE problem on both laptops, Post #8.

Since using Malwarebytes on the Win 8 laptop I am now getting a pop-up every two minutes saying:

"Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious website 111.111.111.111."

I am not getting the pop-up on my Win 7 laptop.

I have read M'bytes forum and it says uninstall KMPlayer which I have done, and restarted, still no change.

Are you downloading torrents by any chance or have a torrent program active ?

While downloading torrents you get that message all the time.

By the way did you perform a full scan with malwarebytes as opposed to a quick scan ?

No, not downloading torrents, no program that I can see.

Yes, I did a full scan, using Spybot and Malwarebyte.

Just read on another forum where the "Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious website 111.111.111.111" pop-up can be caused by Skype or a P2P client running.

I do have both on both laptops.

Strangely, Windows 8 laptop has the pop-up, Windows 7 laptop does not.

Might have to just live with it.

A p2p client is what I called a torrent program, should have been more correct in my description

Might be that Windows 8 has a built in security that blocks the site already, before Malwarebytes can detect it.

OK some KMPlayer isn't to be trusted.

If you are using torrents, I'd recommend installing PeerBlock

Sent an email to Qualys earlier this evening regarding my Post #8, they have replied already, see below.

Please click on the IE item in the BrowserCheck results to see details regarding security issue with IE. There is a work-around fix, but a permanent fix will be available from Microsoft soon (probably on

Oct 8th

).

Wow that's pretty good for a free service.

If any of the suggested fixes did not work or your PC is actually clean from malware, then you might be suffering from DNS Hijacking. I had the same symptoms on all my devices: smartphone, iPad, and laptop, but when I used a VPN, the problems went away. I used http://www.vpngate.net/en/.
