Unsure if the detection is false positive or not.

Hi Bitdefender Community. When I attempt to download installer for MEGA desktop from mega.io, bitdefender blocked the download:

As I downloaded from the official MEGA website, I'm wondering if this is a false positive detection or not. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you are downloading from their official website and there are no reasons for concern, then yes, this could be a false positive detection. To mitigate this and be able to download the installer successfully, I would recommend to send a sample to Bitdefender Labs using the dedicated form available at the link below:

Once confirmed, false alarms are corrected within hours.
