Hi, @cayars can look at reporting a false positive to them. Thanks.

That is not a false positive as its not reporting a problem with Emby but with the client IP.  It's likely an IP that is doing port scanning and trying logins using common passwords or other exploits to gain access.

Malware bytes reports back to the central server when it sees potential abuse on a system.  When multiple systems report this same IP it's flagged and action is taken as shown above.

This is one of the better ways of stopping this sort of thing as you know it's not just your system but also other systems the IP is "attacking".  It's dynamic and constantly updated. If the IP shows no issues for 24 hours, it's removed from the "dirty list".

As more and more systems use advanced detection systems of this type it makes the use of public VPN servers even less useful because they are notorious for use by people trying to exploit other systems. That makes the chancwe of the VPN public IP being on a "dirt list" quite high.

In Laymen Terms, It's coming from my TV Service?

No, from a random hacker poking your machine hoping to get in to something.

Odd they would choose Emby's port, I guess that speaks to your popularity @Luke;), I have quite a few ports open.
