Hopefully someone can help me out.
I'm currently running Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes Pro, McAfee and I use Spybot and Spywareblaster.
When I browse these forums Malwarebytes shows a pop-up that it has blocked acess to IP address 174.132.114.130
Anybody have any ideas?
I've scanned everything looks fine and nothing 'weird' is running/happening otherwise.

Do you have the gator tool bar?
One way to get more info is to go to command prompt
tracert 174.132.114...
this will give the host name -
Are there any certain threads the block notice appears on? The IP belongs to Host Gator and it is possible someone is hosting their signature there. It might be blocked because the server could also serve malware that it detects.

*Update...so currently it does it when I visit the 'Post Your Last Purchase' thread
actually between the three they work really well, Malwarebytes is good at blocking bad sites and finding the occasional malware, MSE and McAfee seem to work good together as one or the other usually catch anything nasty hiding in the occasional download -
Its not recommend to have three anti-viruses as they WILL cause system slowdown no matter how coherently they work.
Also, its probably a signature. -

a) There is.
b) There's a security issue. As Microsoft has said, running two antiviruses is only barely better than running none at all. If two programs try to scan a file it is very often that neither of them will succeed. -
If you'd like to use another application try SpywareBlaster. Since it doesn't run in the background it won't conflict with your other AV/AS programs.
SpywareBlaster | Prevent spyware and malware. Free download. -
In the past I would have said McAfee was junk but I don't even notice it is there until I need it.
Also I only use SpyBot as an on demand scanner just in case, I do not use the realtime features.
I already use SpywareBlaster, have used it for a while now.
I honestly don't see any slow down etc running these, they have worked great together for almost three months now.
Malwarebytes keeps blocking certain IP when I visit NBR
