Question about pop up

[Millzy]

I have a question about MB pop ups I get frequently. A window will pop up and it will say 'Malicious website blocked' then it will say either inbound or outbound and give an ip address. I only go to safe sites. I'm not one to click on anything. Usually when I get these I'm on Yahoo or Facebook. Can someone tell me what these pop ups exactly mean? Thank you!!!!!

Hello and :
 
This KB topic explains the significance of IP block: What does it mean when I get an alert that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has blocked a malicious site?
 
From what you describe, it could be that MBAM is doing its job, e.g. by blocking banner ads and other content on web sites.
If you are seeing a lot of outgoing blocks, especially when you don't have a browser open, they could be a sign of infection.

It might be a good idea to get an expert to help you check your system.

For expert assistance, I suggest that you please follow the advice in this pinned topic: Available Assistance For Possibly Infected Computers.
It explains the options for free, expert help >>AND<< the preliminary steps to expedite the process.
A malware analyst will guide you through the cleanup process.

Thanks,

Hello and thanks for the quick reply. It only happens when I have a browser open. I use and have used Chrome for quite some time. This just started happening about 2 weeks ago. I run MB scan on a regular basis along with my AV. I don't think I have an infection. Nothing strange has been happening other than what I explained. Thanks a lot!!!!!

Some malware requires the use of additional scanners and tools for complete detection and removal.

Getting your system checked will only cost you a bit of your time.

But, it's certainly up to you, if you change your mind.
