    The detection may or may not be malicious. The detection is basically cloud-based.


    Cloud-based anti-malware detection works like this: when a file or program is opened on your device, instead of just relying on the antimalware software on your computer, it sends information about that file to a server in the cloud. This server uses powerful analysis tools and databases of known threats to quickly determine if the file is safe or if it's potentially harmful. If it finds a match with a known malware signature or behavior, it sends back a signal to your computer to take action, such as quarantining or deleting the file, protecting your device in real-time without needing to rely solely on the antimalware software installed locally. Hence, these detections are not created by malware researchers and are completely automated.


    If you believe that a website or file has been incorrectly blocked by Bitdefender, you can share the details with our malware researchers by filling out the form at the link provided below: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/29358/

    If the website or file is indeed incorrectly blocked, the detection will be removed within a maximum of 72 hours. However, if the detection still persists after 72 hours, please consider the website or file as malicious, as determined by our malware researchers, and the detection will remain.
