Emails blocked by Edge

Hi. Not sure if I've done something but can't find what. Any help appreciated.

When I try to access my emails, either by a link in my favourites or through the Virginmedia webpage, I get 

bojobppfploabceghnmlahpoonbcbacn is blocked

This page has been blocked by Microsoft Edge

ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

I have gone in to 'settings', 'Privacy, search and services', 'Blocked trackers' - there are no blocked trackers.

Also 'exceptions' - and tried to put in the address for my inbox by clicking on the address bar, copying the long gobbledygook, and typing the address in manually, but I still get the above.

Any ideas, please?

    I do have a couple:

    1. "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT"  The usual cause of that error is a browser extension perhaps an ad blocker or privacy tool blocking the site for some reason.
    2. "bojobppfploabceghnmlahpoonbcbacn"  is an extension related to Malwarebytes Browser Guard. I assume that you must have Malwarebytes installed on your device.

    Hope that helps you.

    Cardiffman282, coenoby. Thank you. Yes I am using Malwarebytes. I thought it was Edge blocking it. I must have blocked it through Malwarebytes. I've managed to fix it. Many thanks both of you.
