I installed Malwarebytes Premium on my HP Pavillion, ran a scan, and now get pop-ups saying that these websites have been blocked.  I don't know where these

calls come from.. I have both IE and Firefox installed.  This happens only with Firefox.  It makes my computer difficult to use.  I ran Malwarebytes and it finds no

threats.  Today I installed HitmanPro 3.8 using IE and ran that.  It found no threats but found tracking devices and removed them.  But now I can't use IE. 

Anti-malware software seems more dangerous than malware.

Greetings,

It seems this issue is being caused by a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program), most likely some kind of adware or similar installed in your browser(s) and that's the reason you're seeing these issues.  Please download and run Malwarebytes ADWCleaner from here and allow it to remove anything it finds and then restart the computer when prompted.

If that does not resolve the issues or there are any other remaining problems, please go ahead and follow the instructions in this topic and then create a new thread in the malware removal area by clicking here and one of our malware removal specialists will assist you directly in checking and cleaning the system of any remaining threats once one is available.
