Hi,     :welcome:
My name is Maurice. I will be helping and guiding you, going forward on this case.
Let me know what first name you prefer to go by.

Please follow my directions as we go along.  Please do not do any changes on your own without first checking with me. 
If you will be away for more than 3 consecutive days,  do try to let me know ahead of time, as much as possible. 
  
Please only just attach   all report files, etc  that I ask for as we go along. 

 

I need other details from a different report set.   

You made no mention at all if a web browser was in use when the Block event happened.  But apparently Chrome browser is involved in this case.

Let us start with what follows below.

.

For Your Information:

The Block notices from Malwarebytes web protection do mean that Malwarebytes is keeping your pc safe from potential harm.
A block notice is an advisory of the "block".
A "malicious website blocked" is entirely different from a "malware detected" event.

The website  Block message indicates that a potential risk was blocked by the malicious website protection. 
The Malwarebytes web protection, by default, will always show each IP block occurrence.
The Malwarebytes Webs protection feature will advise customers when a known or suspected malicious IP is attempted to be reached (outgoing) or is trying access your PC.
 
See our info page https://www.malwarebytes.com/lp/ip-blocking/?ipblock=true
 
Incoming block notice can be ignored, our software is blocking the threat and there is nothing more that can be done.
On Outbound blocks, any attempted connection was stopped.
 
No action is required unless you’re also experiencing malware symptoms or there are multiple (different) IPs (ex;123.23.34 and 4.44.56).
 A browser is not required to be running, just an active Internet connection with processes running,
such as Instant messenger clients, SKYPE or Peer-to-peer software, to trigger these alerts.

These are also triggered by banner ads running on websites which is the most common form of alert.

Turn Google SYNC off.
Use Chrome browser   to go to https://www.google.com/settings/chrome/sync and sign into your account.

Then look deeper in SETTINGS

Turn off the ability for all web browsers to "push  ads".


See this article on our Malwarebytes Blog
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/technology/2019/01/browser-push-notifications-feature-asking-abused/
  
You want to disable the ability of each web browser on this machine from being able to allow "push ads". That means Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browser (on Windows 10), or on Opera. 
Scroll down to the tips section "How do I disable them". 
[   5   ] 
I suggest you install the Malwarebytes Browser guard for Chrome. 
To get & install the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension for Chrome, 
  
Open this link in your Chrome   browser:  
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee
  
Then proceed with the setup. 
  
[   6    ] 
I  would suggest to download, Save, and then run Malwarebytes ADWCLEANER. 
Please close Chrome and all other open web browsers after you have saved the Adwcleaner and before you start Adwcleaner scan. 
Adwcleaner  detects factory Preinstalled applications too! 
  
Please download  Malwarebytes AdwCleaner  https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/adwcleaner
  
Be sure to Save the file first, to your system.  Saving to the Downloads folder should be the default on your system. 
  
Go to the folder where you saved Adwcleaner. Double click Adwcleaner  to start it. 
At the prompt for license agreement, review and then click on I agree. 
  
You will then see a main screen for Adwcleaner. ( if you do not see it right away, minimized the other open windows, so you can see Adwcleaner). 
Then click on Dashboard button. 
Click the blue button "Scan Now". 
  
allow it a few minutes to finish the Scan.   Let it remove what it finds. 
NOTE:  When it comes to the section " 
Pre-installed applications 
  
You can skip that.

Do have patience while the report tool runs.  It may take several minutes.  Just let it run & take its time.  You may want to close your other open windows so that there is a clear field of view.

Sorry.   My bad.   I only intended they be done one time.

 

I would suggest a free scan with the ESET Online Scanner
Go to https://www.eset.com/us/home/online-scanner/

Look on the right side of the page.  Click Scan Now

It will start a download of "esetonlinescanner_enu.exe"

Save the file to your system, such as the Downloads folder, or else to the Desktop.

Go to the saved file, and double click it to get it started.

When presented with the initial ESET options, click on "Computer Scan".

Next, when prompted by Windows, allow it to start by clicking Yes
When prompted for scan type, Click on Full scan

Look at & tick  ( select )   the radio selection "Enable ESET to detect and quarantine potentially unwanted applications"   and click on Start scan button.
Have patience.  The entire process may take an hour or more. There is an initial update download.
There is a progress window display.
You should ignore all prompts to get the ESET antivirus software program.   ( e.g.  their standard program).   You do not need to buy or get or install anything else.
When the scan is completed, if something was found, it will show a screen with the number of detected items.  If so, click the button marked “View detected results”.
Click The blue “Save scan log” to save the log.
If something was removed and you know it is a false finding, you may click on the blue ”Restore cleaned files”  ( in blue, at bottom).
Press Continue when all done.  You should click to off the offer for “periodic scanning”.

The Windows Defender on the 14th was flagging some files on the L drive.

There is a event log entry by Windows for the 18th  that Acrobat Reader was blocked from doing some function due to this Windows having the Window 10 Controlled Folder Access on.

The reports from   FRST you relayed do not show signs of "infection".   Nor do they reflect anything as to whether or not Malwarebytes has reported or shown any new website block notices.

Are there any block event notices that happened today ?   If yes, I need the details on those.   I would lie to know what if anything happened today.

 

    1. Open Malwarebytes for Windows > click the Detection History card.
    2. Click the History tab.
    3. Under the Event column, open the Real-Time Protection detection report.
