- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

..... Sucks.
That was 5 years ago, it's actually pretty decent now..
Btw, I was just trolling..
It keeps trying to tell me that FileZilla is a Trojan.
Probably because FileZilla requires special access to personal files and WD probably knows It'll try to send them elsewhere
The things that trigger antivirus software aren't just hashes anymore, it's the behavior of the software on your machine.. That's why I said it's better now..
Weird how that doesn't happen for other FTP or file transfer apps.
Oh, wait... I just remembered... users have reported that Filezilla does by itself install malware/bundleware, unless you're very careful to untick some boxes during the installation... IT IS malicious that they install other stuff on your machine and it's hard for you to find what exactly they installed..
See the Negative reviews on Alternativeto
The detection happens with the update download, which does not have any bundled software. It also detects the installer that specifically does not have the option for installing bundled software.
There's got to be an explanation, it's either a false positive, or indeed malware.. Try to upload the file to VirusTotal and see what you get
I did that. VirusTotal came up clean.
It's likely a false positive.
5 years ago it was alright as well, or even 10 for that matter.
i dont know I still dont trust microsoft
That's good, never trust any tech company
