Bamital malware - do I need to worry about it?

Hi all,

I had a letter from Virgin Media saying they detected bamital on one of my devices (they don't say which one, or how they detected it). As far as I can gather, bamital was disabled around a decade ago. I did a full scan with Bitdefender and nothing was found - I'm assuming Bitdefender would detect this malware, even if it is old.

This is not the first time Virgin's done this. A few months ago, they reported a possible infection with avalanche-urlzone, which was shut down years ago. Maybe their detection system is a little over enthusiastic and is reporting false positives.

Any advice will be much appreciated!

Cheers
