Malwarebytes preventing outgoing process from Firefox

Hi i'm using Malwarebytes and when browsing on the internet I get notifications from the program popping up. Here's a quick sample of the protection log:

2012/05/04 01:39:06 +0100 Admin-PC Admin MESSAGE Scheduled update executed successfully: database updated from version v2012.05.02.09 to version v2012.05.03.08

What's going on?

Thanks for the help!

Malwarebytes is blocking that entire IP range based on its blacklist.

Any website in the 109.163
199.80

It assumes the site is evil in some way.

Dodgy toolbar?

Have you tried loading FireFox in SafeMode to make sure it's not a add-on?

Also look at your HOSTS file and DNS settings
