Filezilla security issue

#1 Post by colincruz » 2018-10-11 16:28

I have been using Filezilla Client for years on various computers and I love it...it works great.

Except, right now. on one of our computers, I am unable to securely download files.

I have been getting the attached security message over the last week, and Windows Defender Antivirus twice flagged files right after I tried to download files from Filezilla. The computer in question is a Windows 10 Pro computer. I am not getting any such error message when downloading the same files on two other Windows servers that are using other Windows OS's.

I have checked, and I have the latest update of Filezilla.

What should I do? Is there a fix for this?

Windows Defender flagging it is a false-positive, contact Microsoft to have this fixed.
