My destop computer picked up ScvHost.exe virus.

Did some web research so downloaded and then ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware premium and it did not find anything in the scan...HOWEVER...I keep getting pop up message from Malwarebutes saying MALICIOUS WEBSITE BLOCKED....the Domain, IP and port will vary but it is always coming as OUTBOUND from file c:\Windows\SysWOW64\svchost.exe (see attached pic for sample). These warnings are popping up several timesa day.
Also ran HITMAN PRO, TDSKILLER and McAfee and none show anything.
So I assume (use computer everyday and know only enough that I am in over my head here) the Malwarebytes is keeping the virus from going out from computer.....but how do I find it and get rid of it?

svchost.exe is a SYSTEM process, terminating it will cause an an unbootable system and/or functions not working.

Instead check with @TwinHeadedEagle in the Malware Removal and run the Farbar, I’ll skip over there too and see what’s suspicious on your computer.
