Yes and so did I  :)   But that isn't the address I was having trouble with, it was 87.106.171.17  as per the screen grab....
Sorry missed your Screen grab.
Don't know how you appear to accessing a different 1&1 domain ?

I'm not  ;) It's the IP address of the banned malware site in the link.. 

I didn't access it (obviously), I just pasted it as part of copying the security post contents and that came up from MBAM a few secs later....

You are welcome to try it yourself and see what happens...

Edit:

I just tried a whois on that address - bad move  >:D

Off MBAM goes again, had to clear recent history to stop.

Never heard of them before.
Quick look at their website etc
They are stating the postal address is in Hampshire yet the Call centre is in Nelson Lancs.
They started in 2014 so not too long ago.
They appear to be hoovering up 'Rural' customers.
Not sure who is providing the 'real' connectivity which they connect to.
If you say Talk Talk & Virgin have off-loaded customers what is common between those two ?

Only thought is that if they are new there is the risk that if they do not hit target numbers of customers they could be moving the customers on if they fail or be swallowed by someone else as a cheap target to pick up customers.
You need to see some benefit of joining a small company with the obvious attendant risks.
Pricing does not look special one way or another.

Their website does not give out much info beyond we do broadband and Phones and Mobile.
Has the look of someone buying a mix of services from across the market and selling the 'bundle' as a new Telecoms company.
Maybe I am wrong on that, it is just a feel from the generic website & docs.

Oh dear ..... MBAM is at it again..... This is getting annoying  :-X

Thanks Eric. It did occur to me afterwards it was out of context to anyone reading the thread  :-[

It seems hopto.org is well documented for hosting malware so presumably the TLD has got on a list.....

Just had a Malwarebytes update.
I have removed 82.165.160.62 from the exclusion and all works OK.
i.e. As before.

FYI
