Malwarebytes - "Trojan" enquiry


Thanks for looking


I am using Windows 11 Pro - Version 24H2 (OS Build 26120.21.30), Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.32.0 with an 'active' Windows 11 Pro product key.
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU running at 4.20GHz.
32.0 GB Installed RAM, and I use 'Windows Update' (and check 'Advanced options') every time I boot my PC.

I am also using Malwarebytes version 5.2.0.140, update package version 1.0.90683, component package version 1.0.5073, which I also update on a regular basis.

When using my 'basic' laptop a few months ago, having the same OS and Malwarebytes above, I received a batch of 'Trojan' warnings via my Malwarebytes installation, an issue which seemed to resolve following my regular 'updates', but it is now occurring again?

I had to switch to my gaming PC, whose stats I have listed above. I fully updated it using MS Update and re-configured this using both my Microsoft and Malwarebytes accounts: No drive copying was involved.

About two weeks later, and as same as before, I started receiving multiple (but different), Malwarebytes 'popups', stating:

Website blocked due to Trojan.

All these different versions seem to be linked with ‘Microsoft Edge’, which I do not use, and were all located in:

\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe

All versions have been 'Outbound' on Port '80', but with the following 'IP' and 'Domain Name' combinations being used:

94.237.52.82 - uk36.prmsrvs.com
94.237.50.183 - uk101.prmsrvs.com
94.237.53.108 - uk111.prmsrvs.com
94.237.49.227 - uk116.prmsrvs.com
94.237.53.238 - uk119.prmsrvs.com
5.22.209.234 - nl23.prmsrvs.com

Please can someone tell me if the above poses an active risk to me, or is likely to be resolved following my future ‘Windows’ and ‘Malwarebytes’ updates?

Thank you for your time :-)

Although @remover has provided an excellent suggestion, Malwarebytes trouble tickets are processed through the Tampa, FL office, whose staff may still be impacted by the hurricanes and had an unavoidable backlog.

A topic may also be opened in the Malwarebytes staff managed Windows Malware Removal Help & Support sub-forum for equivalent expertise.

BTW, MB5 version 5.2.0.140-1.0.5073 is a BETA and you must assume all risks. Version 5.1.11.139-1.0.5072 is the current release to General Availability (GA).

TRUE, "Malwarebytes trouble tickets are processed through the Tampa, FL office". So there may be a backlog of computer users in line in front of you? The Malwarebytes forum: sub-forum, it may be wise to post your issue in here: Windows Malware Removal Help & Support
thanks for the reminder 1PW......
