The web server hosting one of the images in sheshe2's signature is on a blacklist because some *unrelated* website on the same server has nastiness on it.

malwarebytes checks these blacklists and stops you before you can connect to that server. Different antimalware tools may use different blacklists, so the server won't be blocked.
