What is the problem with Mozilla and Cylance?
Hello,
I would like to know why Cylance Antivirus always detects FireFox as Unsafe @ Virus Total?
Is not aware Mozilla Foundation and its contributors Mozilla Corporation about this issue?
Firefox Win 68.0.1 Cylance Unsafe
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/880 ... /detection
Firefox Win 68.0.2 Cylance Unsafe
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b73 ... /detection
I know the reputation of Cylance as Antivirus is not as good as others
I know it is a warning
I know it is a FP
I know I can report it
Cylance
https://home-support.cylance.com/hc/en- ... al-Inquiry
Thanks
Camelia

Re: What is the problem with Mozilla and Cylance?
who cares about such very unknown crap as "cylance"?
did that answer your issue?
btw if you had loaded from here you can be sure that all is clean and secure:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
any other - your bad.

Moving to MozillaZine Tech.
Is this really a Firefox issue? It seems more a problem for Cylance Antivirus to address.

Wouldn't that be a better question to put to Cylance?

Re: What is the problem with Mozilla and Cylance?
Try downloading from this site and see if the same issue appears - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
It might be a business/reputation issue for Mozilla but that still doesn't make it a Firefox browser issue if the false positive is some Cyren must correct.For me Cyren is affecting the reputation of FF detecting a FP warning, so yup it is a Firefox Issue for me

You want somebody to take 'ownership' of your problem and solve it. We ain't that daft here.
That somebody is - Cylance Antivirus support.

Re: What is the problem with Mozilla and Cylance?
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ is where you get the current Release of Firefox. It also serves the full setup for Windows as the small online stub (for Windows) is served on http://www.mozilla.org
The https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ and https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ for current Release is the same file served on https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
It is a issue with Cylance and they do not do it with just the desktop Firefox web browser.

Which is the mention of 7zS.sfx in virustotal details.Cylance appears to be detecting anything that's been through UPX as unsafe.

A) OS X Sandbox IS NOT an Antivirus is part of the macOS
b) it is a warning only
Who is that somebody in this case?

Are you saying Cylance is unsafe and Firefox is safe or that Cylance is doing a False Positive on saying it is unsafe.Warning Cylance Unsafe

Re: What is the problem with Mozilla and Cylance?
you got your recommendation - use it or drop it.
we or mozilla are not responsible, can not change anything and we are not cylance to complain.
and most of us dont care about such VT results. VT is not allowed in some forums for exactly this reason - people are not able to "read" the results and cry rivers for nothing.
next customer please...!

Re: What is the problem with Mozilla and Cylance?
So question Cylance to see if in fact their reason for marking FF as "unsafe" is in fact simply a matter of it being packed with UPX?
(Heh. With Firefox Setup 52.9.0esr_x86.exe "compressing" it with UPX results in a .20% size reduction.)
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6ec ... /detection
If I then decompress it (using UPX), getting rid if the UPX packing, it then complains about the 7-zip SFX (self extractor).
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d21 ... /detection
Suppose you're not going to win with Cylance .
