[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 863912, member: 23015"] Kaspersky is correctly detecting Brave's Tor component as Not-a-virus:NetTool.Win32.TorTool.bdd and it isnt automaticaly removing it, actualy it will just display a yellow warning and ask for your decision. Personally I think Kaspersky approach is optimal, Tor components can be abused by malware, but if you trust the file just exclude it, problem solved. What I really dont like is how some antivirus vendors copycat Kaspersky detections, they will blind add anything that Kaspersky detects at VirusTotal, this is well documented and I have tested it myself: [URL unfurl="true"]https://thenextweb.com/insider/2015/08/14/kaspersky-antivirus-accused-of-creating-malware-for-over-10-years/[/URL] About the PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic detection, thats no good, but I have been using Kaspersky + Brave for a long time and never had anything detected (except for Tor component).
