I have been seeing malwarebytes blocking something called "sync-en.exe.bid" but I have not been able to find out exactly what it is, where it came from or how to remove it.
I am running Windows 10, using firefox, chrome, and edge browsers, and this pops up on each browser.
Does anybody know how to remove this? Thanks.
Which version of malwarebytes are you using?
The most current is 3.0.6

I suggest installing an ad blocker such as Adblock Plus. Once installed, click on the ABP icon at the top of
the browsers it is installed on and choose Filter Preferences. UNcheck the box next to Allow some non-intrusive advertisements.

Block Third party (ad/ tracking) cookies from installing. Once blocked, run CCleaner to delete the existing ones.

Use CCleaner to remove Temporary files, program caches, cookies, logs, etc. Use the Default settings. No need to use the
Registry Cleaning Tool...risky. Pay close attention while installing and UNcheck offers of toolbars....especially Google.
After install, open CCleaner and run by clicking on the Run Cleaner button in the bottom right corner.
