As a home computer user, I'd like to tell you what scares me. Mbam seems to be the one blocking these sites. If I disable this function, will Avast take care of it? I'm going to try disabling it and see what happens.
You did not address my question about finding out what, on my system, is reaching out to these foreign countries. Is there some scan that can be done to find the software culprit, or malware that is doing this?
Also, what about the continued threat notices from Avast on the rootkit? Can I feel safe being that I have done the boot scans? If this is a false-positive situation, on whose end? Is it something that Avast needs to address, or MBAM?
