Advice Request Bitdefender detected & disinfected a threat on the main Brave Download site!

[FireHammer]

Hi, my post is as the headline says, should I take this serious or threaten it as a false positive?
I was of course about to download Brave.

There might have been a malicious script on the Brave website. Sometimes hackers like to put these on legitimate websites. Brave is safe of course.

Hi, @SecurityResearcher I know, I just want to put it out there, so people know.

It MIGHT be a false positive, Bitdefender heuristics is pretty sensitive.

I encountered the same issue with some Steam games when using Bitdefender.

No alerts here with KSC. Either a false positive or they cleaned the site.

Bitdefender is the KING of False Positives.

Hi @FireHammer

The same thing happened to me these days ago. Right now I'm using BTS, now I'm managing to use it normally here, however, it happened to me and this fact too. I just don't remember for sure now to describe it because Bitdefender blocked it automatically and immediately dismantled the machine.

Bump!

Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection and Premium VPN is required for 100% anonymity.

I remember some antiviruses having issues involving Brave's Tor component. No idea if that's related.

Also, I forgot to mention, Bitdefender has a lot of false positives.

nothing here with F-Secure Safe.

Nothing with Avast/AVG, Kaspersky and Trend Micro either.

I would report it to BD and see if it is a FP. I do not know the member many members a re referring to, but I do not like what is happening here no matter what the member previously did.

Ha Ha Ha another FP from King Of FPs, BugDefender
Bug Defender Heuristic is too buggy it may find Windows as malware !
I have no problem with it (Webroot in my VM & Dr.Web in my live machine!)
