Hi,

I scanned an URL and its IP Address in virustotal and got the message "2 detected files communicating with this IP address". What does this means? Any files from my laptop communicating with this IP address? Only netcraft says that the website is malicious.

Regards,
Ray

I believe it means that two threats detected by VirusTotal were contacting that IP address. It is not related in any way to your computer.
