html/Refresh.BC trojan alert when typing 192.168.1.254

When I google "192.168.1.254" Eset internet security alerts me to the message that it blocked connection to a html/Refresh.bc trojan. Here is log with my username redacted.

Eset says that site has malware on it, so a warning to everyone don't go to the link in the column named object.

When I press f12 to open up the chrome console in the google search page there is a link to the site that has the trojan on it. Also that site is the third link down on the google search results.

 

 

 

 

This in 100% reproducible, every single time I refresh the page or google search 192.168.1.254 or google the link above Eset comes up with the warning message I pasted above. Is this something I should be worried about? I tried to reinstall chrome but it still happens.

No problem here. When I enter 192.168.1.254 in Google search window, it opens my router's GUI interface.

Is your router's IPv4 gateway address 192.168.1.254? To verify what your IPv4 gateway address is open a command prompt windows and enter:

ipconfig /all

It's just Chrome preloading links from the search results. I get the same thing happen when Google searching the same address with MS Edge.
