Whotheff Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi Team, As I was looking at my firewall I noteiced my Maxthon is keeping an active connection to https://www.abuseipdb.com/whois/218.241.149.77 this IP. Could you list all Maxthon reserved connections we can expect from a clean Maxthon instalation. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are available please send your TeamViewer ID and password to me in PM. After I waited for two hours for someone to connect to my Teamviewer, I just blocked Maxthon. Sorry to leave it after using it since MyIE2 times, but it just turned out to be the next spyware browser, probably using all users PCs as relay nodes for someone's interest. If you don't believe, just check below which servers a clean instalaction of Maxthon is contacting upon opening the New tab homepage: 127.0.0.1 smarturl-up.maxthon.com 127.0.0.1 pc-newtab.maxthon.com 127.0.0.1 www.xxxivilization.com 127.0.0.1 pc-newtab.maxthonimg.com 127.0.0.1 go.maxthon.cn 127.0.0.1 updatedcs.maxthon.com 127.0.0.1 fastdail-imglib.maxthon.com 127.0.0.1 www.baidu.com 127.0.0.1 api.bing.com 127.0.0.1 www.warriorforum.com All of them are unfamiliar to me and I've never willfuly even tried to open any of these. No wonder that after blocking these it started loading twice as fast even after system reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev's do not respond to requests - Dev's live in their own world... unfortunately... The offline feature has been restored. 17 hours ago, Whotheff said: After I waited for two hours for someone to connect to my Teamviewer Sorry for the delay. Shall we make an appointment today?
