Tojan in Mozilla installer ?

Post by TheVisitor »

Windows 10 Defender just flagged this download of cc0d7de218cb0c260c8ba0cf6637845ad2222f49\target.installer.exe (Today's Nightly)
with trojan ID of: Trojan:Win32/Cloxer.D!cl

Defender says its 'Severe and should be removed'

Anyone else seen this of is this some false-positive of Mozilla's Installer

Yes getting that warning using both the supplied download links. I am assuming its a false positive
What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

Are you using Windows Defender and what are your security levels set to? And are your system updates current?

Sounds like a false flag. Comodo did that at one time also a few months ago. Hasn't happened again since.
