Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
@vgr wow, that's some BS.
It does make me want to rant about the AV protection racket though. The FileZilla dev uses it as a distraction but it's real.
"That's some nice software you got there. Shame if no one installed it. My friend Norton here has something that could make that problem go away."
All of a sudden you're buying a $1,400 USB key. There is of course, an appeals process for FPs but it amounts to begging them to reconsider with no guarantee when they will respond.
