Possible malware in DaRT win10 media download link Empty Possible malware in DaRT win10 media download link

Post by nahabze Fri Jul 07, 2017 7:43 am

Hi. I've just become a member of this forum, so I don't know precisely what I am doing with respect to downloading versions of DaRT 10, but I encountered a malware episode when I began the download from: https://www.solidfiles.com/v/nN5QLYDmkX332.
This was of the type that screams "your PC is now infected! Click here - don't leave this page"... I've encountered this type of malware (can't remember the descriptive name) before, so just closing my browser and then scanning for anything new was enough to evade the problem.
I thought I'd like to notify someone though, and I don't know how to go directly to a moderator, so I'm posting this here.

Rest assured, It Is a false positive detection.

A lot of file hosting sites "advertise" to raise revenue, hence fulfill their server costs and the like. What you've experienced Is simply a re-direction from the original link typically known as adware. It (adware) Is annoying, but In this case, not malicious.

It's just a re-direct. (especially if you were able to kill it with task manager)

Just install an adblock.

Sounds like a generic scareware popup. Quit the browser and reopen.
