#Filezilla ftp client malware windows 10#
I am surprised that Microsoft made the list, but Windows 10 Defender isn't complaining, even after doing a system scan, so they probably use Microsoft Security Essential from Windows 7, or an old version. I already made a software, a small utility, mostly for myself, but put made a setup out of it for possible distribution, and hold and behold, a bunch of A/V on VirusTotal marked it as a variety of viruses, from Trojan to adware.įunny thing is that I am looking at the list:Īnd it is always seems to be the same anti-viruses that marks everything as a virus, for me.ĮSET-NOD32 and Avira are always on the list, as it marks anything that isn't from a very large company, pretty much, as "potentially unwanted', and therefore: "ZOMG! Virus! Virus!" Just a headsup for everyone using filezilla, you might want to deinstall it for now. And it seems people are mostly worried about this. But people see that I hope, the problem lies in the bundled software. It looks like the owner/maker is trying to do some stuff about it, but mostly he is defensive and trying to show the program itself is not problem.
Not to mention your use of Click Baiting (Social Engineering) by using a big green download button.hiding the alternative download link at the bottom with small text so that nobody pays attention. First.do you even know what software applications or advertisement software you are bundling with the bundled version of FileZilla? How do you know without a doubt that the software you are bundling is not malicious or not able to lead to anything malicious? If you can honestly say you know for sure, then you are complacent in the delivery of malvertising applications to people.
