Have been using Brave for a couple of months. Due to computer issues had to get a new drive and re-install apps. Installed Brave + Anti-Malware without issues. For some reason now every time I open a new Brave window my Anti-Malware pops up with an alert concerning a Trojan virus from omega.geo-stats.xyz. What is this and why is it linked to Brave?
edit: this happens whenever I refresh pages aswell
OS: Win10Pro
Brave version: [Version 1.18.75 Chromium: 87.0.4280.101 (Official Build) (64-bit)
