Adblockplus Firefox false positive?
« on: June 19, 2017, 07:25:45 AM »
Greetings,

Am I the only one who had a problem yesterday with Adblock Plus on Firefox?

Avast detecting at many times a virus... from the link of Adblock Plus easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org and files from the directory of the Firefox extension:


(sorry for the big size)

So, false positive or not? Should I worry about it?

Thank you,
Regards.

My guess is that the blacklist from adblock is detected because it is not encrypted.
If it is, it is a false positive.
