Malwarebytes blocks ip address from Futre Ads LLC

I have a client running Malwarebytes Pro.  It keeps popping up constantly blocking differant ip addresses.  When I google the addresses they all come back as from a company in California named "Future Ads LLC".   Can anyone tell me why these outgoing requests are happening?  I've looked around in programs and ad-ins but I'm not seeing anything that seems to be related to this company.  
Thank  You.

They publish some game aps like "PlaySushi".  The aps apparently "phone home" and might be causing popups.
Run TcpView on the affected machine(s) to determine the process initiating the requests.  If the process ends up being a browser, run Hijackthis and post the report here.  You'll want to look at the BHO and toolbar items.
try running rubotted from trend micro.

Rubotted has not picked up anything.  I uninstall sendori.  The TCPView software does not pick up or show any of the ip's that Malwarebytes is blocking.

Try disabling Malwarebytes temporarily, so TcpView can identify the process.

I'll try that, probably tomorrow.  I was going to open a ticket with Malwarebytes and see if they could help as well but I will try you're suggestion first.  Thank You.
I'm resetting tcp and winsock but the remote pc needs to restart.  No one is on the other end and my problem is the pc is set to startup with boot options.  I set this via command prompt using the command bcdedit /sec {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes
Now I can't figure out how to remove this so it boots up in normal mode.  I tried the same command with "no" instead of yes but it doesn't like it.  ???
NEVERMIND.  I got it turned off and to boot in normal mode.
Nice FutureTech, it worked.  That was a pain in my rear.  Can you tell me why your fix worked?  Short and Sweet?  Or give a link?  I'd like to understand what was happening.
Thank You!
Hint: Potentially a malicious/interfering Winsock LSP.  The reset command removes the reference.
PCGalOfCal - the above expert is absolutely correct.  It's only from pulling my hair out for many years and encountering this same kind of thing.  When all else fails with internet connections, the tcp/ip reset and winsock reset seem to do it.

Glad I could help :)
Thank You!
It was ok for a few hours and it's doing it again.  I'll try fixing the suspicious hijackthis entries and run some other malware and/or virus scans tomorrow.
It ended up working after all.  Without me doing anything extra.  For some reason a few pop ups occurred but then it was and has been fine since.  So resetting tcp and winsock worked.
