Hello, I constantly see upwards of 20 messages a day about blocked suspicious websites or programs and have no idea what to do. I ran a quick scan as well as a boot scan and it has not helped. I wanted to contact an Avast emplyee, but could not find an email to contact, so if anyone could be of help, I would appreciate it.
Follow instructions and attach requested logs, then you will get help tomorrow https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
Here are all the logs requested, hope they are done correctly.
Could you let me know if this stops the alerts

After malwarebytes there was still pop up notifications but for a different address this time. Not sure if there still is after AdwCleaner as it usually only appears after sleeping for about an hour.
Could you screenshot an alert for me if they do popup again if they do not return let me know and I will tidy up
