constant 'Successfully blocked [outgoing] access to a potentially malicious website' threat alerts

[alba]

Hi,

For the last few days I have constantly (between every 3 seconds and every minute) received balloon messages from Malwarebytes Anti-Malware that read:

Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious website: 83.133.125.41

Type: Outgoing

The number is not always the same, but tends to start with 83.133. Here are some other numbers that appear in the messages:

46.249.59.47

83.133.121.147

83.133.121.156

83.133.124.195

83.133.124.196

83.133.124.245

91.207.60.22

95.215.2.8

188.95.52.162

212.36.9.58

I've looked up the numbers, but I'm not particularly computer literate so all I learnt was their geographical locations. The 83 numbers relate to Hausham in Germany.

The threat type is always outgoing which makes me think that the problem is on my computer. I have AVG Free 9.0.925 and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware trial version 1.60.0.1800 installed on my computer and ran full scans of both programs on both normal mode and safe mode of Windows XP but found no infections.

I saw in forums about this topic that filesharing apllications are often to blame, but I don't use these.

The messages pop up even when the browser (mozilla firefox) is not open. I downloaded TCP view to understand the process of the error messages and it read 'firefox.exe.'

I'd really appreciate any help with this problem because I find this constant stream of threat alerts unnerving.

Below I've pasted the 'DDS' and 'attach' logs:

==== End Of File ===========================

[alba]

Update: The problem seems to have passed. On Monday the threat alerts stopped and an advertising tab started appearing sporadically on the browser. This looked like the work of a virus so I ran AVG and MBAM scans and found a trojan horse in the system 32 folder. I'm not able to reformat my computer because I don't have the installation CDs anymore, so I started the OS in safe mode, manually removed the infected file and replaced it with one I'd copied from another computer. I then ran scans with AVG and MBAM. The computer appears to be running normally now.
