Why is TopStyle reaching out to a server in the Bahamas?

Postby LeoNot » Sat Sep 10, 2011 11:21 am

Malwarebytes, a highly respected anti-malware tool, is blocking topstyle4.exe from connecting to 208.87.33.151 - that looks like a host in the Bahamas with over 4000 sites on it. (Some of which might well trigger malware alerts.)

Before I tell Malwarebytes it's OK, what's TopStyle doing in the Bahamas?

Thanks,

Leo

As far as I know of, TopStyle does NOT connect to 208.87.33.151. When are you seeing this? Where have you downloaded TopStyle 4 from?

Only from the official site (svanas.dynip.com).

It just dawned on me what MIGHT be happening - yep. False alarm.

I was editing some Javascript code that included as example content references to "yourdomain.com". THAT is hosted in the Bahamas. The preview window was executing the code and thus accessing the URL.

Sorry for the false alarm...
