    Hi i'm using Malwarebytes and when browsing on the internet I get notifications from the program popping up. Here's a quick sample of the protection log:

    Malwarebytes is blocking that entire IP range based on its blacklist.

    Any website in the 109.163
    199.80

    It assumes the site is evil in some way.

    Dodgy toolbar?

    Have you tried loading FireFox in SafeMode to make sure it's not a add-on?

    Also look at your HOSTS file and DNS settings
