It seems like your system might be infected with malware or a virus that is causing the continuous increase in unsafe URLs and the malicious activity notification. I would suggest running a full system scan using a trusted antivirus software to detect and remove any threats. Additionally, you should avoid visiting suspicious websites or clicking on unknown links to prevent further infections. It's also a good idea to keep your operating system and security software up-to-date to ensure maximum protection.
