I have never once had these virus warnings go off before when downloading zip files off Blockland.

What's the deal?

yes what a great idea

I can assure you the add-ons do not have viruses. I'm a bit confused why they might be pegged as malware. Has puu.sh been compromised?

I hope this is a joke

Run the links through https://www.virustotal.com/ and see if they come up as positive. If they do, I'm going to have to look into this, because the files on my end do not have any suspicious files.

Maybe it's mistaking it for malware

I've googled puu.sh and found some articles saying they "accidentally" or maliciously slip malware into files.

If it has malware or viruses I doubt Ike would do it on purpose. I kinda jumped the shark and created this too early.

It's possible it may have been just Puu.sh in general.

I don't know why my stuff is going off then, I wasn't even aware I had protection against zip files because this is the first time this happened.

I scanned the three files with avast and no hits came up. I also scanned the links with virustotal

My guess is your antivirus saw a .zip or an unfamiliar file format and it came up as a false positive. I suggest avast or malwarebytes as alternative anti-virus software and to run a scan, just to make sure you don't have any malware

Ike's mods are truly perfect. If you do not get his amazing generation of Blockland Addon madness, you are stupid. Yes, I know. That's insulting, but it's also the truth

Mr Queeba · February 09, 2017, 07:37:07 PM

I've dealt with this before. Mozilla firefox has really stuff anti-virus protection.

King T�ny · February 09, 2017, 07:40:56 PM

Alright so he sent me new files in drop box, nothing is going off now.
