Most likely Avira.

That big eared rabbit logo thing they use looks a bit ominous

Hmm... Adguard was quiet for me on the site.

Yes, they are using Avira signatures. Outbyte (and also TweakBit) products are published by Auslogics. It's a legit antivirus, but not worth using, just like most antiviruses using Avira signatures. As well as that, Auslogics is not a trustworthy company, as I've detailed in the following post.

Auslogics - Features removed from Free versions

Seems they have taken away features on their free products.Any thoughts?

However, I should add that since I posted that, they have released updated versions of their driver updater and, you can now update drivers using the free version. It just limits the amount of drivers you can update per day.

Outbyte Driver Updater, along with Auslogics and TweakBit Driver Updater, are all based on DriverHive, but have a much better UI. They find more driver updates than DriverHive does, as it has not been updated since 2016.

It's nothing to worry about. The website is safe, as evidenced by the VT scan results. Aside from that, it is very rare to get infected just by visiting a website.

That's why it was a little startling--did not expect that, plus it made a weird little alert-noise. Probably a difference in filter lists or DNS settings. No biggie.
