"Suspected threat blocked because of duplicate IP addresses on network."
That would seem to imply that it saw multiple MAC addresses with the same IP address. That *might* happen if your laptop was plugged into a wire for part of the time, and connected by wifi for part of the time. Each of the laptop's interfaces will have its own MAC address, although DHCP should therefore give them distinct IP addresses as well. It *sounds* like a false positive and the proprietary "malware" software is just being dumb, but that's a completely wild guess and based on nothing.
