Malwarebytes constant popup?

WHY all of the sudden do I keep getting a "malicious website blocked" popup every few seconds?

It reads

IP 69.85.88.100

Port 61029

Type Outbound

Process C/Windows/System32/svchost.exe (it's actually a backslash)

I get an option "exclude website"

I've run a scan on both malwarebytes & windows defender & no viruses found.

Please HELP. Not only is this driving me insane I also don't want to get, spread or have a virus

Update:

Thanks Geek.

Now my question is doesn't that leave me unprotected?

I do recall several days ago I may have change that setting because Malwarebytes was reading "your system is not protected" "FIX NOW" didn't do anything.

It turns out when I went to update a file was missing or corrupted & automatically downloaded whatever was missing along with the update.
