Overbridgenet.com

I keep getting prompts from Malwarebytes that Overbridgenet.com is a trojan, it's only started warning over the last couple of days. I had a similar thing a while ago, and that was traced to something Virgin was using. so does anyone know if this is related to Virgin?

      It seems that Overbridgenet.com has been flagged by some security tools, like Malwarebytes, as potentially being associated with a trojan. However, there are discussions suggesting that it might be linked to certain services or tools, possibly even legitimate ones.

      To stay safe, I recommend:

      1. Running a full system scan with your antivirus software.
      2. Checking your browser extensions and removing any unfamiliar ones.
      3. Clearing your browser cache to ensure no malicious scripts are lingering.
      4. Monitoring your system for unusual behavior, like slow performance or unexpected pop-ups.

      If you're still unsure, you might want to consult a cybersecurity expert or reach out to your antivirus provider for further clarification.

    Malwarebytes is a product you installed on your computer,
    what ever it detects reports is not VM related.

    I got on to Malwarebytes support and ended up reinstalling Chrome which seems to have resolved the issue.
