TOPIC | Is files.fm safe?
(sorry if this doesn't belong here)

Whenever I attempt to go to files.fm Malwarebytes blocks the website and says website blocked due to Trojan. I need to know if this is a false positive or not because I wanna update a new controller I bought and their update files are hosted on files.fm

Thank you to anyone who gives advice!

Yeah, I accessed the website with no problem. I really doubt that it's unsafe.

^ hi.. . my art ^
@cocoagem Thank you! I think I'll just whitelist the site, use it, and then do a scan with Malwarebytes when I'm done

Virustotal (which is owned by Google) identifies it as malicious:

Malwarebytes is pretty reliable, generally speaking.

If it's not happy, you shouldn't be either.

Yeah, I'm with Greyjoy, I'd avoid it.

@greyjoy I mean to be fair though I have seen Malwarebytes give false positives though

@AboveClouds I looked over the review and it is kinda concerning...


Thanks for the advice everyone, I'm thinking I'll download the file on my old useless tablet (of which I'm not after of getting viruses on) and scan it online with some things before using it

If it's safe though I'm gonna put the file on my computer because it only works on Windows and just avoid using the actual site on my computer


*Edit*
I scanned the fine with virustotal after downloading it to my tablet and it was deemed safe by all the engines so I'm gonna scan it individually on my computer before opening it first but otherwise I'm going ahead with using it
