[Trojan warnings]

I've been using Malwarebytes for 20 years now and it has never alerted me to anything regarding Firestorm in the past however many years it has been since FS was released.

The issue is not with the viewer.

ETA: I was also on the FS support team for over 5 years so I probably do know what I am talking about.

 

I have no doubt in regards to your credentials 🙂 I'm moving toward it being an infection that wasn't cleaned by my protective programs. I am currently checking on that now. I intend to send questions to both AVG and Malwarebytes in regards to this situation. I only asked here because it was based in my Firestorm directory.

 

[Trojan warnings]

Are you (he) trying to say that there was a Trojan warning from AVG from a WEBSITE redirect from the Firestorm site?   Or that when looking at something from within Firestorm using the external viewer there is a redirect that instigates a trojan warning?    At the moment it is pretty unclear -- to me anyway.

Anything on the web isn't a Firestorm viewer issue, but a web issue.  There have been times in the past when virus checkers have mistakenly tagged viewers as malware.  Since we haven't heard a huge outcry about this yet, I am guessing it is NOT the viewer that is the issue. 

More info is really needed.    

My apologies to everyone for minimal information. I was typing on my phone when I posted this. The following is information from Malwarebytes:

Malwarebytes
www.malwarebytes.com

-Log Details-

(end)

Please note that the domain that it is trying to redirect to is docleaner-trk.com and it's located in the Firestorm directory. I get the same information from AVG. I downloaded from the official site but this activity has started just recently (in the past two weeks.) I understand that some Anti-Virus software do not play well with certain platforms. I've had that issue with AVG before, but when Malwarebytes AND AVG started notifying me I became concerned. My original post was meant to ask if there were any known issues with Firestorm that would cause this. If not, I will do more research.

Again, my apologies for minimal information.

What do you think?  Which avatar would you approach if you saw them both at a club? Or am I just paranoid?

Depends on the profile information. Could that be a factor? If the profile says "no drama" you can bet that they will bring it. On the other hand "Love to dance and have great conversation" is inviting IMHO.

Discord is great. My World of Warcraft roleplay guild has been using it for around two years.

But I wouldn't know what Discord has to do with SL. Both are totally different things.

Avastar uses Discord as well. If you do anything in that arena it helps to be on Discord.

 

[Trojan warnings]

I keep getting Trojan warnings from a Firestorm redirect. I added the site to Malwarebytes, then AVG flagged it as hostile. I removed the permission from Malwarebytes until I figure out what's going on. Have any of you experienced this, and is it a false warning?
