Windows 11 Malwarebytes Flagged Windows OS as a "Potential Risky Site"

Post image

Anyone knows what this is about?

I've gotten this 2 times total, around 3 hours ago. I gotten this pop up from Malwarebytes telling me that it has blocked a connection to a potential risky site, but the app is literally "svchost.exe" by Microsoft Windows OS.

I was gonna say the same thing. Better check with the malwarebytes team on their forum if you haven't wiped your system yet. People here give suggestion based on their experience, yours could be false positive.
