Receiving Many Blocked Incoming IP Notifications

[geek2b]

I'll start by saying hello to all as I am new to this forum. I've used MalwareBytes free edition for many years and made it a mandatory element in my arsenal for removing viruses and the like.

I'm currently using the pro edition and all was well for a few weeks however I've noticed that I am receiving many blocked incoming ip notifications, several per hour. I'm not sure where they are coming from but I receive them even when I'm on a safe social networking site (oxymoron?), reading email or blogs. Happens even when I'm not surfing but the connection is still on. I've checked the GRC site and I'm still in stealth mode. Is there a database in the forums that provides a listing of common incoming ip addresses that should be blocked or known to be safe/unsafe? If not, where should I look? I've tried reading the ip's from my MalwareBytes log and I've noticed that some ip addresses have caused MalwareBytes protection to stop momentarily then restart again quickly afterwards. Is this due to the automatic updates which MalwareBytes can tell is coming from it's own server or is this a sign of some type of breach?

Currently using Malwarebytes, SuperantiSpyware Pro and, as of 1 week ago, (and probably the reason my system is running at a snail's pace) Norton Internet Security. I have a very old system and using XP.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
