Why do I get "Potential threat blocked" alearts form Malwarebytes when trying to install World of Tanks?

[CHA_I_99]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to reinstall the world of tanks by wargaming after a clean install of windows. I've Malwarebytes installed and it's on a two week premium trial. When I start downloading the game using Wargaming game centre (which is required to download the game) Malwarebytes notifies me about a potential threat. This happens in semi regular intervals, like one every 15 to 20 minutes.  They are about an outbound connection to a web server and Malwarebytes tells me they are trojans. The IP address of the server changes every time, so far I got 178.175.85.255 , 118.41.50.204 , 202.164.139.225 , 178.175.124.234 , 211.221.56.241 , 178.175.95.82. 117.247.202.254 , 119.96.69.154 and 73.138.6.36 . I've already run most of them through VirusTotal and almost all of them were flagged as malicious but only by a couple of antivirus softwares. Before you ask, Yes I ran a full scan of the computer too, and it came out clean. So I'm not sure if these are false positives or not and I'd really appreciate any help you guys could give to understand this. 

 

Thank you!

False positives, if you're seriously concerned you can play the superior alternative, War Thunder.

cancel the trial and just use windows defender.

I've not use antivirus since i install windows 10.

if you download a game from the developer site, it will be fine.

It's not like a game that only 100 people play.

Almost definitely false positives, malware bytes probly doesn't like how it contact servers.

 

BTW don't use a 3rd party anti-malware, Windows defender is just as good as or better than most 3rd party ones anyways. And doesn't kill perf when it's running.
