Continual Pop-up Error Message

Two to three times a day I have this pop up but am unable to locate anything that remotely looks like this file. Can you please help me locate this information or should I mark it as a False Positive?

I don't think it's a FP. Another user reported the Same issue. MBAM blocks the connection for me.
But, Looks like Malware calling home.
Please follow this topic:

Please attach MBAM/OTL and aswMBR. After that I can fetch a remover to help you.

Eddy,
I know, however, I do not know how to remove it. So unless you do, please let him post logs so Magna86 can help him as he has a fix for it
