svchost.exe and the same site keeps getting blocked and I want to fix it.

The paidwork site pops up whenever I open google password manager, so I'm guessing there is something malicious but I can't figure out where and malwarebytes returns nothing when searching.

Additonally, I think I know where it stemmed from and I can find it in my search history because I misclicked a link and after that is when I started having issues, even though it may be useless.

Welcome 
 
I'll be helping you with your computer.
 
Please read this post completely before beginning. If there's anything that you do not understand, please don't hesitate to ask before proceeding.
 
Please take note of the guidelines for this fix:

• Please note that I am a volunteer. I do have a family, a career, and other endeavors that may prevent immediate responses that meet your schedule. Do note that the differences in time zones could present a problem as well. Your patience and understanding will be greatly appreciated.
• First of all, the procedures we are about to perform are specific to your problem and should only be used on this specific computer.
• Do not make any changes to your computer that include installing/uninstalling programs, deleting files, modifying the registry, nor running scanners or tools of any kind unless specifically requested by me.
• Please read ALL instructions carefully and perform the steps fully and in the order they are written.
• If things appear to be better, let me know. Just because the symptoms no longer exist as before, does not mean that you are clean.
• Continue to read and follow my instructions until I tell you that your machine is clean.
• If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask before performing the task that I ask of you, and please wait for my reply before you proceed.
• Scanning with programs and reading the logs do take a fair amount of time. Again, your patience will be necessary. 

Let's begin...

SecurityCheck by glax24              

I would like you to run a tool named SecurityCheck to inquire about the current security update status of some applications.

• Download SecurityCheck by glax24: https://tools.safezone.cc/glax24/SecurityCheck/SecurityCheck.exe
• If Microsoft SmartScreen blocks the download, click through to save the file
• This tool is safe.   Smartscreen is overly sensitive.
• If SmartScreen blocks the file from running click on More info and Run anyway
• Right-click  with your mouse on the Securitycheck.exe  and select "Run as administrator"  and reply YES to allow to run & go forward
• Wait for the scan to finish. It will open a text file named SecurityCheck.txt Close the file.  Attach it with your next reply.
• You can find this file in a folder called SecurityCheck, C:\SecurityCheck\SecurityCheck.txt

 

 

 

 

 
Read and follow the instructions on this topic.

 

Let me know the outcome.

How is the computer doing?

[wooper]

Hi again,

The computer itself is fine but malwarebytes still notifies me about blocking the same site for phising/ it being compromised.

 

[JSntgRvr]

Can you post a screenshot of the window with the block?

[wooper]

Hi again,

This is what pops up whenever I open up my password manager on google.

[AdvancedSetup]

Pardon the intrusion. Please go clean up Google Chrome on ALL devices

 

 

Please follow the directions from the following topic for a more extensive article on cleaning Google Chrome

Hi again,

 

So after some attempts to fix chrome, I just decided to try the last extreme option of cleaning everything and then reinstalling chrome and the malwarebytes pop up hasnt shown up when trying to open the password manager.
