dub.125 what is it?

When I log into outlook.com, I get the normal Microsoft 'outlook.com address', but as soon as I start viewing my inbox emails, or try to delete 'sent' items, or open a new folder - the address changes automatically to https//dub.125.mail.live.com

My question is - what is this dub.125? Is it a virus in my email account? Is it a phish? After a little while, the mouse also then stops opening items to view. Does anyone have any suggestions?

dub.125.live.com is a legitimate Outlook.com server (as is https://blu175.mail.live.com). The prefix (dub & blu refer to the location of the server) If you are having a problem it is most probably not related to that

Thanks so much for this reply - you've set my mind at rest - & thanks for being so prompt. Apart from noticing the address change, I don't (touch wood) have any probs with outlook.com
