    VM workstation 10 on a win7 64 bit.

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vmnat.exe tries to connect to IP 202.163.105.1 which is Cyber Internet Services

    Why would this be. It is blocked by malware bytes which says it is a malicious website

    Are you using a browser within that VM?

    A nasty ad in a webpage could connect to that domain, which MBAM sees through the VMs virtual adapter (that EXE) and blocks.

    yes i am running windows 7 32 bit virtual with firefox as the browser in the VM. The nasty ad could be in any webpage?

    I do not see anything much about Cyber Internet Services. Thanks

    Any page at all.

    There have been instances where Javascript in ads has called a chain of 200 other scrips on many other domains.

    Simply opening this thread connects directly to more than 30 domains.

    Adblocking limits it, but can't eradicate it.
