Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Client Warning Message in Eventlog

Hi Team,

My Azure VM event log is having frequent warning message with below description from source Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Client :
"Name resolution for the name ad.afy11.net timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded. "

I don't have chrome and IE also don't have any addon installed. I need to find the program which is trying to reach ad.afy11.net since this is malware.

Can anyone help on how to proceed and get this warning message fixed?
