I am experiencing an issue with a running process and an error message I am receiving. A running process on my computer is trying to access a suspected malicious website. The websites have IP addresses of 50.97.218.22., 50.97.214.162 and 50.23.124.152 all relate to SoftLayer Technologies out of Dallas, Texas, USA. The process is avastsvc.exe. Can you explain why this process is trying to contact these IP addresses?

hey and welcome to the forum.

i think this needs investigation from a malware expert.

please follow the guide and attach your logs

I reckon it is MBAM blocking that IP and avastsvc.exe is the updater for Avast virus definitions
