Hey, I just recently acquired a malwarebytes premium license and I went ahead and activated all the premium features; everything has been working well except for a problem I am encountering with web protection. I generally use 2 browsers, chrome and mozilla firefox(the quantum version): on mozilla I don't encounter any problem and it is also the browser that I use without any kind of adblock/privacy protection/ cancas protection extension and so forth, while with chrome, which is also the browser which I mainly use(I have been using it for much more than mozilla), which has installed many extension to ensure the protection of my privacy and has cookies and javascript disabled I encounter this problem which I will try to describe below.
whenever I open the browser and browse around the internet, after I open 2 or 3 random links, be they google, wikipedia, or anything else, I start getting web protection notifications from malwarebytes saying it has blocked some sites(which haven't popped up since I use ublock) which were trying to extabilish outbound connections then nothing more, the popups from malwarebytes stop and I don't seem to be encountering any more problem until I clore and open the browser again(and still only on chrome). The file that was connected to the notification was the chrome.exe file from my browser and all the connections which I've seen so fare were outbound.
tradexchange.com
go.oclaserver.com
venturead.com
popcash.net
om.forgempire.com
ninjagod.com
these were the sites which I was able to transcribe from the notifications
52617
5218
52744
52765
and these were some of the ports in no specific order.
I have already tried running full scans with malwarebytes but it seems that I have no malware. Any suggestion on what the problem might be, or if this is even a problem?
side note: I don't use any other antivirus beside malwarebtes(which I know is not an antivirus) but I don't think this is virus related.
thanks in advance for the replies
