Alex, It appears that if anybody on this list knows of a solution to your situation, they have yet to read and respond. While you wait for that/those person/persons to come by and if you have not already done so, you could try a web search using your favorite search engine looking for "malwarebytes blocking ports."
I tried that yesterday and got several hits. I didn't pursue any further because I am not suffering your situation but some solution might be found there. hth Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Stone" <alexstone...@btinternet.com> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, September 30, 2011 8:53 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] malware bytes This is of course possible, except that I happen to know that port 13501 is actually used by Skype, therefore I don't want it blocked.

Sent: 30 September 2011 13:56 To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] malware bytes Malwarebytes is blocking access to the indicated IP addresses and just happens to tell you what port a connection was trying to be made on. Since both of the services that you mentioned are peer to peer networks, it is very possible that those IP addresses that your computer is trying to connect to are associated with malicious activity, hence MWB is trying to block them for your protection. BTW, I'm only trying to help you and my last message was only trying to solicit the information necessary to resolve the problem, not imply anyone's level of knowledge.
