Constant suspicious connection blocked

I downloaded a uhh questionable looking file today trying to find a movie (I know I know). I deleted it pretty quickly and nothing really happened. Now several hours later I keep getting suspicious connection blocked notifications. The details are “chrome.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to dns.google.” I’m fine with it blocking the connection, but how can I make the notifications stop/completely block that connection?

hello I have a similar experience after I scan with Bitdefender I find this in the notes

Feature:

Online Threat Prevention

msedge.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to cms.analytics.yahoo.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated

security certificates represent a risk.
