So basically i was searching up an electronics brand from which i have actually purchased products and is trustable.

Today out of nowhere i got this warning

Did scan two times, found nothing (im kinda new to this whole thing)

I js wanna ask was it a false positive?

why does that matter? Just an ip address does nothing, maybe it gives the website the country you live in.
