Malwarebytes blocking Cox website
I have been getting repeated warnings of Malwarebytes blocking an outbound connection to cox.rs.oxcs.net fpr phishing
I have not attempted to go to this website.
I am on Windows 10, browser is MS...

Based on the host you've indicated it sounds like access to our email service is being attempted. If you're not initiating this activity or don't have an email client setup it's possible you have malware attempting to send spam via our email platform.

OP here:
Thank you for the responses, but I am still quite confused.
If the offending website is Cox -mail, I have never configured any browsers to use it and my Cox e-mail is now inactive for lack of use. I cannot find any record of attempted contacts in browser history.So why would my browser be attempting to contact it?
I suppose it could be a malware problem, but neither Malwarebytes nor Windows defender can find anything. In addition, it would appear that the contacting of the Cox website would have to built into the malware, since the website is not stored in my computer that I can tell.
Any other thoughts? I may try asking about this on the Malwarebytes forum.
