It could be 3 things affecting you.
First, from a gist of the replies to your post, it could be 1 of 2 things. Either Cox (outsourced Cox) has an issue with certificates (authentication)...or MalwareBytes flagged a False-Positive with cox.rs.oxcs.net (looks bad but is harmless). Troubleshooting certificate errors could be quite involved but removing a False-Positive is quite easy. Either way, MalwareBytes was blocking your connection.
Second, although you're not using Cox email, something on your computer is instructing cox.rs.oxcs.net. This could be just an effect of your traffic originating from the Cox domain (DNS, routing, stored cookies). However, this instruction has always been happening on your computer but you only became aware of it via MalwareBytes. As Kevin recommended, you should clear your cookies. Furthermore, you should clear your cookies every time you close your browser. This is how and follow any step "...to clear automatically..."

Third, inactive for lack of use. Cox has a new policy to reduce email accounts: "As of August 15, 2019, Cox no longer offers the ability for new and existing Cox Internet customers to create new Cox Email accounts." If you had an account but never used it, Cox may have just deleted it.
