Browser-Add-on with bad reputation
« on: November 09, 2018, 11:23:22 AM »
Hi, I'm the product manager of a browser plugin called TRAVIC-Sign. This plugin communicates with a card-reader connected with the PC in order to create a secure signature to a request. A customer  told us, that "Avast Free Antivirus" determined this plugin as an add-on with bad reputation. Now I'm looking for a description which functionality of our plugin leads your software to that categorization. Could anybody help me?

I dont think avast sw gives that bad reputation.
Users of Firefox can do that:

But I cant find any thread about Travic-Sign ;-(
