often 'do stuff' without you doing anything. Just the page being open can be enough. An example is a site that shows sports scores that updates automatically. Or the map on Doordash that shows where your driver is w/your food.

Figure out which site is doing it, and stop going there.

And/Or figure out if others are having the same issue with Malwarebytes, could be a bug/false positive and there's really nothing wrong with the site.

OR it's not really malwarebytes at all, it just looks like it. Some bad stuff mimics the look of anti-virus software to get you to click on things.
