I would never turn off the ip blocking feature of malwarebytes as it does work and has saved me numerus times ( and i paid for the feature so im going to use it ;) ), if you get a block on a legitimate site ( which i never have ) you can add it to the ignore list and report it to malwarebytes to confirm whether the block was right or wrong

I would rather rely on the network and web shield than MBAM IP malicious site blocking, for me it was a pain in the rear and not a single malicious site did it notify that was actually malicious. So for me they need to reclassify that option as it isn't just a malicious site blocker.

I find that the website blocker would only pick something up once every couple of weeks but iv noticed with outpost FW installed ( just the firewall ) i never hear from  the web blocker at all so i guess outpost must automatically filter out those blocked ip ranges.

Well I don't know if that would be the case if Outpost firewall filtered out the IPs or you may to come across web page errors, missing content, etc. which presumably don't.

If it is filtering access to the fanboy list, then it makes a mockery of having it added to adblock plus.

I used SimpleAdblock in IE9 but it only blocks 200 ads a day unless you pay for it. I currently am using the tracking list from privacychoice and it works very well and automatically updates itself.
