Defender of the month ✭✭✭

i downloaded some pics from my google drive, and tried to upload them as a profile pic on :
https://www.twitch.tv/settings/profile
but the website failed to detect one of those pics, the pic was there but website failed to detect and upload it, i changed the browser from chrome to firefox but he results were same, then i tried to upload the same pic on another website and it worked. just need to know what could be the issue?
is twichtv and twich.com the same website? because writing twch.com brought me these results :

while twichtv was easily accessed. deep seek & Gemini told me that these are related to the same website. then why this blockage ? for the well-known website?

    Hello.

    At first look, i can see that the letter T is missing in twich.com. It should be twitch.com, not twich.com.

    Also, if you type twitch.com in the address bar, you will be redirected to twitch.tv.

    If i were you, i would stay away from twich.com.

    Regards.

    @Alexandru_BD @Flexx Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

  • I know @Flexx is also a fan of Gemini, so he may know more about the accuracy of the information provided by it.🙂

    If you ask me, that's either a subdomain of the main page which uses a certificate with another name than the domain used by the website, and this discrepancy actually triggers the notification, or there's indeed a threat there.
    I mean, I notice that the detection refers to gnodev.com/notice.jpg so what exactly is that? I would contact the main website owner to find out.

    Hello again.

    If you you type twich.com in the address bar, you will be redirected to gnodev.com/notice.jpg.

    I took a risk, entered the website gnodev.com/notice.jpg and this is how it looks like:

    Even Google shows that the website is not secure.

    Well, there you have it. 🙂 It's HTTP instead of HTTPS so this is why it's marked as unsecure.

  • Nice to know that my students figured out the issue and didn’t need any intervention from their professor. Nice work, students—proud of you both! lol 😂

    Thanks so much for your attention and insights! I'm still puzzled why the picture won't upload to my Twitch profile (

    https://www.twitch.tv/settings/profile), even though it works fine on other sites

    If you're outside of the US (or use a VPN connected to Mexico) download and run the stand alone (temp scanner) Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool. Then run Norton Power Eraser (temp scanner) and see if and what they find.

    Two trojans with the same name were detected :

    a variant of Win64/Packed.Enigma.BV trojan
    a variant of Win64/Packed.Enigma.BV trojan

    Those are quarantined by :

    Will just deleting these files protect my computer? What kind of danger are they? Could they be why my Adobe files look like WhatsApp icons, and why a blank WhatsApp window opens when I try to open the Adobe files?

  • Will just deleting these files protect my computer?
    

    There is no yes or no answer to this; no one can answer it that way.

    What kind of danger are they?
    

    The "Win64/Packed.Enigma" designation usually indicates a type of file-packing or code-obfuscation technique often used in software development. While not inherently malicious, it can be used to make it more difficult for antivirus software to analyze a program's true behavior, which can be a red flag.

    Could they be why my Adobe files look like WhatsApp icons, and why a blank WhatsApp window opens when I try to open the Adobe files?
    

    It might be related to your Adobe files issue:

    1. Malware Disguise: Some malicious programs use packing techniques to hide their true nature. The "Win64/Packed.Enigma" could be a sign that malware has infected your system and disguised itself by altering your Adobe files and associating them with the WhatsApp application.
    2. File Corruption: It's also possible that the packing process itself has corrupted your Adobe files, leading to the unexpected behavior.
    3. False Positive: In some cases, antivirus software might mistakenly flag a legitimate program as "Win64/Packed.Enigma" due to similarities in the packing techniques used.
