What is the Internet Status Screen?

This morning when I restarted my computer and logged into 1password, a screen entitled Internet Status popped up. It said thanks for downloading. Is this something associated with 1password?

Hello @vaillaw! 👋

That doesn't sound related to 1Password to me, do you have a screenshot of what you're seeing that you could post so that I could investigate further?

HI @vaillaw, thank you for the screenshot. While I'm not sure exactly what app this is, I can confirm that it's not something related to 1Password.

It may be worth reviewing the list of installed applications on your Mac by opening a new Finder window and selecting Applications from the sidebar. There will be a list there - perhaps "Internet Status" or something similar is located there. I hope this provides a helpful start to figuring out where this came from!

The foreground app appears to be Malwarebytes. Apparently that anti-malware app company thinks its a good idea to try push users towards affiliate junk-ware (of course, every computer needs "Memory Cleaner" - what a bunch of garbage).

I looked at the applications folder and did not see anything related to Internet Status. I will follow up on Mr. C's suggestion regarding Malwarebytes. Thanks to all for your help.
