Why is McAfee attempting to connect to a Malicious Website?
Yesterday I was browsing and checking out Google Images and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware notified me that it had blocked a malicious website. After I closed the notification, the same Malicious Website Blocked notification reappeared, and the second time, my McAfee LiveSafe security software attempted to connect to the same malicious website Google Chromium initially attempted to connect. I am sure my McAfee LiveSafe is the legitimate version. The exact process path of the specific McAfee LiveSafe executable attempting to connect to the malicious website was "C:\Program Files\Common Files\mcafee\platform\McSvcHost\McSvHost.exe" Plus, McAfee SiteAdvisor rates this website Safe.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Malwarebytes often blocks ip addresses that are not exactly malicious,sometimes they just contain ads.The website or image was a sony forum in a russian domain.The process on one occasion was your browser, the second alert was Mcafee ,your security software checking for malware.
Even if the website was very malicious, malwarebytes blocked the connection
