Blocked threats shown in Log, but Scan shows nothing
I am using Netgear Armor App AKA Bitdefender for Netgear Orbi routers. The log file shows a bunch of blocked threats. They're blocked which is good. But the wording of the threats is concerning.
"Bot Found on XXXX" where XXXX is my computer. The details of the message state, "Netgear Armor denied access to this potentially harmful website.... If you still wish to access this site, select Unblocked URL to add it to the "Unblocked" URL list"
These messages are appearing in the logs at times I'm not even on my computer, and in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping. I'm assuming something is on my computer trying to access a URL that is being blocked as malicious. When I do a full scan of the computer, nothing is found. What is concerning is if this is a BOT or some malware on my computer, why didn't Bitdefender block it before it found it's way onto my computer, and why is it
not being found during scans?
The same question goes for "Exploit Found on XXXX". The wording "found on" seems to tell me whatever is causing this is "on" my computer!

Thanks for the insight. Yes, the wording is definitely off. Leaves one to believe they have malware on the computer.
