False Positive: File Download Manager
« on: July 15, 2023, 03:21:07 PM »
G'day Avast

I was about to download the latest File Download Manager onto my W11, and the Avast has detected a virus or blacklist directly from the original website File Download Manager.

I strongly believe this is a false positive, and I'm asking Avast to fully investigate this issue ASAP. See attachment below.

Thank you.

I see a PUP warning for one of the downloads here:
https://www.herdprotect.com/domain-files2.freedownloadmanager.org.aspx

Reason for detection:
Reason HeuristicsPUP.Softdeluxe.FreeDown.Installer.Meta (M)16.6.10.13

But wait for a final verdict from avast team,
