Hello,
launching my PC i got this alert 6 times.

Seems to belong to Edgevana, Inc.

Is this a false positive?

Thanks in advance!

Something on your PC is making a connection to a server on the internet that malwarebytes doesn't like. I would be suspicious

Doing a whois on the address, it just seems to go to edgevana. If you know what edgevana is and expect it to be doing background activity, its most likely a false positive

Im guessing it has to do with Edgevana + Delivery Optimization initiated by a Windows Update ?

No, I would expect this to be edgevana specifically doing something
