Why am I receiving repeated warnings from Malwarebytes about blocking every-day websites due to a "Trojan"? The sites include Gmail, Ancestry.com, Newspapers.com and others.
The report warnings are being generated by the Malwarebytes program on my PC. They are confusing to me. I am running Windows 11. The warnings are being logged by the Malwarebytes program in the "Web Protection" section of its "Detection History" web page. In every instance, the log reports are the same: in the URL identification column there is no identification of the URL, only repeated instances of "N/A"; the IP address is identical for all the warnings; the port is always "0"; the file column alternates from "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Mozilla VPN\Mozilla VPN.exe" to "System" and back again to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Mozilla VPN\Mozilla VPN.exe"; in the final column of the log, the Date column, the warnings began last evening, Monday the 12th, at 6:50 p.m. and have now extended to to a total nine warnings.
Even as I was writing this communication, the Malwarebytes warning popped up on my screen, telling me that this website and this web page are blocked due to the presence of a Trojan.
Is my PC infected? The Malwarebytes "scan" reports no "detections." I am at a loss.
