If you don't do online banking or online purchases or do your taxes online etc... then don't continue at your own risk.

Not alarmist at all if you do any of the things we mentioned. Even if you don't do the things mentioned it is possible your computer is now part of a
botnet.

If Malwarebytes is alarming when you connect to MR then you still have problems with a virus or malware on your computer. Malwarebytes never triggers any alarms when I go to MR so it is safe to say it isn't MR that has the problem.
As long as you are comfortable with the risks mentioned ...
