There is absolutely no reference to IP blocking anywhere in the main
settings menu.

I have MBAM on auto update. I don't monkey with it while it is
updating.


Here are the pertinent RIGHT click and LEFT click settings.

Right Click On System Tray Icon:
(All these are enabled.)
Enable Protection
Web Site Blocking
Start With Windows

(Grayed Out)
Add To Ignore List

+++++++++++++++++
(Left Click Main Settings)

Protection Tab Settings Which Are Enabled:
Start protection with Windows
Start file execution blocking when protection module starts
Start malicious website blocking when protection module starts
Show tooltip ballon when malicious website is blocked

Grayed Out But Checked:
Enable protection module
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nowhere do I see a reference to IP blocking.

It is the paid version 1.46 and totally updated.

Something is goofy.
