I posted this in the Win10 forum and they suggested that I post it here.

Malwarebytes is often poppijng up and saying that it blocked an outgoing attempt by something in C|Windows\SysWOW64\Regsvr32.exe This item is dated 3 -18-2017 The folder that it is in is dated 9-19-2017.
Does anyone know what this and is it dangerous?

Also I can not get Malwarebytes to open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but it still will not open. I can not run a scan since it will not open.

Can anyone help with these issues?

Thanks for your reply
The popups have now stopped.

Last night I tried to restore the pc to a date before the problem started. It went through the restore process and said that it could not be restored and my files had not been changed. I tried a second restore to an earlier date with the same results.

After the second try, I tried to open Malwarebytes again and it opened this time. I ran a scan and it found four threats and after they were removed the popups stopped. I scanned it with JRT.exe and it found one more threat and deleted it.

I believe that the problem has been solved.
