Malicious Download Detected Error
|
Paul
Hello,
On two different Windows 10 PCs, running both EDGE and Chrome, when I try to download anything from the https://explorescientificusa.com/pages/software-and-downloads-for-pmc-eight-system, like the latest firmware, or the utility or config manager, I get an "Malicious Download Detected" error and the download aborts. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks, Paul -- AT72EDii OTA iEXOS-100 mount ZWO 30F4 mini guide scope ZWO 120mm mini mono guide camera Nikon D5300

Hi Paul, I have not encountered this trouble, however, it's possible you may be using the Safe Browsing feature (Chrome), SmartScreen (Edge) on the browser, or, possibly some anti-virus software shared by the PC's that may need adjustment. - Matt

Hey. I've checked this main URL with VirusTotal, it compares it with a
number of commercial antivirus engines etc (~80 or so), and it
checks out OK. The actual download site
(http://02d3287.netsolhost.com/pmc-eight/) has one hit against it
(from Dr.Web). This is most likely because of some other content
that has been hosted on netsolhost.com at some stage. I can't find
any details as to why Dr.Web is thinking this...
Do you use Dr.Web for antivirus?
Some time ago, I had one of my home network security thingies
complain about the main explorescientific site, but that was
either a false positive, or rectified quickly.
Cheers -

Hi Matt and Steve,
Thanks for looking into this. When I used Internet Explorer, the downloads worked fine on both PCs. Paul -- AT72EDii OTA (on backorder) iEXOS-100 mount ZWO 30F4 mini guide scope ZWO 120mm mini mono guide camera Nikon D5300

I use Firefox and so far have not found any problems. It could be a setting in Edge that is flagging it.
