    Hi Ralf

    I uninstalled the sw and now when i try to install by downloading the web installer zip Firefox gives me a red windows and says this “This file contains a virus or malware that can harm your computer”
    I saved the file on the desktop and windows defender scan didn’t found any issue
    Whats up with this Firefox warning ?

    This is a false positive. Seems to be some problem with the latest Chrome/Firefox version, the web installer is the same for several years…

    FYI, here’s the scan result for the installer from VirusTotal, which checks files with multiple AV scanners.

    Result: 0/64 AV scanners consider the file malicious.
