svchost.exe wpad.technicolor.net Suspicious web page detected

Hello,

Recently my Bitdefender started to detected suspicious web page access from "svhost.exe". I did a windows 11 full reinstall with the "clean all disks" and "cloud download" options. But I still have this message multiple times when windows start, and also sometimes randomly. Is it possible something survive the reinstall ?

Or maybe my web router is infected but I secured it with all the best practice (WPA2 and strong password). Though I have friends who connect to it sometimes.

"Feature:Online Threat Prevention

The page https://wpad.technicolor.net/ has been detected with suspicious activity. It is not recommended to continue browsing this website.Accessed by: svchost.exe"

Thank you
