Does it show where it is located? Hosts file or just history of browser?

Can you send a screnshot of the MBAM report?
Sounds like it’s just blocked the URL rather than anything actually running on your PC

The site itself doesn’t seem to be a particular risk.

Restart your PC in Safe Mode and scan again with Malwarebytes. It should then be able to remove it.
MBAM is just informing you that that website is blocked
i.e.
Malwarebytes
www.malwarebytes.com

here the mbam report attached.
the weird behaviour is this :
at startup, i see an icon in the task bar (second one)
User generated image
and some tasks - explorer or edge, do not open to full page
i also found this installed -  and it can not be removed- says the file is not there;see below
also, the mbam warning appears without opening the IE- or Edge

User generated image
uninstall that particular application
Does look like you've got something running that shouldn't be there :(

Do you use Firefox as your browser (that's the icon that pops up next to your snipping tool)?  
Do you have a pop-up blocker installed?
Any recent installations? I think this might have been bundled with something legitimate.

Could you run a scan with FRST and attach the files it produces?

Check your MBAM and AV quarantine logs for 2.1.2.3 likely to have been disabled as a PUP and so you can't remove as locked.

Wish this would work with 64bit installs of Windows

You know there's a separate 64bit version?  Download from the same page.
@MASQ
Damn, I clearly didn't look at the page closely enough. Thank you.

i see a reference to Firefox - that's understandable
how do you come to the rest?
uim_im.sys is a driver for Paragon but it should be signed, you can delete that line if you’re confident you're running Paragon and the file is not infected.
C:\Users\Kipje\AppData\Roaming\teinObj\update.exe
is the executable for the infection

The rest is tidying loose ends

Masq, tx for the info; however, how do you know  that    Roaming\teinObj\update.exe  is the infection source?
btw i ran your fix and it seems much better now - i'll test a couple of days to be sure
Hi nobus, sorry hectic day :(
Google "update.exe" for details, there is a legitimate Microsoft file but it would never be in that location.  
Although it's described on the Interent as Update.exe "virus" this isn't the case it's simply the launcher for your rogue Firefox install set in the registry to launch at start-up so MBAM and AV software ignore it.

"how do you know  that "
Experience  ... ? ;)

FRST makes me remember the old hijackthis - does it work the same way?
Yes very similar in parts although HJT looked mainly at the registry and browser start up lists.  FBAR is more comprehensive but it's also easier to mess up.  The core code for HJT is now Open Source.

masq - you earned this one
