Hi all,

For the past few days my Avast has been alerting me constantly regarding the following blocked connection attempts (Refer attachment).

Wondering if anyone can please advise what's making these connection attempts and how I can prevent it - Thanks.

Could be malware. A browser extention. Some piece of software you use.

You'd have to see when it happens, what you're doing on the PC. Maybe a certain website.

What browser are you using  ?

Presumably you aren't actually trying to connect to this site  ?
If yes, your first action, clear your browser cache and cookies (and restart your browser).
If this resolved it, you may visited a site with cross site 3rd party cookies/scripting.

If no change, try running the browser with add-ons/extensions disabled.
If this resolves it check what add-ons/extensions you have recently added and or updated.

You're welcome.

Just keep monitoring and if it appears again, first try the disabling add-ons/extensions as it could be one of those causing the browser cache and cookies issue when it reaches out to a site.
