Outbound connections flagged as malware

Recommended Posts

I was doing homework on a NetLab VM for for my A+ classes and suddenly started to get constant flags on my outbound connections. My malwarebytes scans didn't pop for anything. A little embarrassing going into cyber security and not knowing what is going on but oh well .Some examples of the flags are:

-Website Data-

Domain: www.googletagmanager.com
IP Address: 172.217.8.168

Same here. All of a sudden I am getting popups from MalwareBytes on both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome on almost every website including Google search.

Most of the blocked addresses seem to be connected to Google themselves, here are some that keep popping up frequently.

  • www.google-analytics.com
  • www.googletagmanager.com
  • cdn.optimizly.com
  • adservice.google.com

I really like MalwareBytes but I have to say these popups are annoying. Is this an update, is it necessary to block all these addresses?

I'm getting this as well, about the same time frame, have been scouring to try and figure out what's wrong.

Just adding on, restarted, still happening and now My net has stopped being detected/usable on my pc too...

 

it is directly plugged in, says I have access but nothing works, browsers Spotify, discord, nothing.

 

Have tried scans, nothing is coming up.
