Crunchyroll prompts "Website Blocked due to fraud" "worldnaturenet.xyz"

[kurokeima]

Hello and thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. 

I ran into this issue this afternoon when opening a new tab in chrome for crunchyroll. My Malwarebytes Premium popped up with the website blocked alert and continues to do so if I open any other tab for crunchyroll, but seemingly not other websites. 

I ran a scan and i came up blank but the issue persists.

My only chrome extensions are Adblock Plus 3.03, uBlock Origin 1.16.4, and uBlock Origin Extra 2.70.

It's a little disconcerting.

Thank you so very much for the help, I followed the instructions as given but ran into a few snags. 

Firstly, sync was not enabled. I continued on though, cleared everything out as instructed, reset the sync, and ran the scans but both Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner came up empty. The prompt has stopped appearing but I'm obviously a little suspect considering I didn't catch anything on my scans.

Attached are the two logs from the most recent scans. 

One thing I did notice when going through the step for managing search engines, my default option is listed as "Google (Default) google.com_ and then a long string in the Query URL that I wouldn't know the first thing about determining if that was normal or not. Beyond that I removed the other search engines as directed.
