Don't get too excited by this,

239.255.255.250 is used by a thing called SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocall), think of it as the SoundTouch app sending a request out accross your network to get the speakers to notify themselves. Many different devices use this kind of service.

Im not sure why you have never seen this before? Its been used by the SoundTouch communications protocals forever.

Hi all,

I responded to a previous user earlier today, I'll copy what I said to them:

239.255.255.250 is accessed by the SoundTouch music server via port 1900; It's used for Bose system detection on your network.  Sometimes antivirus and anti-malware software will detect programs as false positives and report them to be on the safe side.  Nothing to worry about!

239.255.255.250 is a local address in your network, and is used by the Bose systems and application so they can see each other (also known as SSDP).  For some reason, Malwarebytes is seeing it as potential malware, but we all know it isn't.

Thanks,

Brandon
