ayclok76 Posted January 16, 2019 ID:1292908 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hello, I keep getting an incessant annoying repeated block on some "malvertising" for "fraud". I don't know why i keep getting this- it says it is some 'outbound connection' that is blocked. I scanned my system with malwarebytes after updating and also scanned with the AdwCleaner - and it says nothing is found. I attached a report of the malvertisement blocked. Can someone help me with this? malvertising block fraud.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
