| Post subject: | R3dfox detected as ransomware on Avast |
| Hello, I am using R3dfox 144.0.2, downloaded from https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/releases After r3dfox is running a while Avast recognizes it as ransomware, because i tries to modify "desktop.ini" in the users documents folder. I am using Windows 7 64-Bit. a screenshot of the avast message is attached. Does anyone know why r3dfox.exe is trying to modify the desktop.ini file? PS: I did already send r3dfox.exe and its setup installer to avast for false positive check, a week ago, but it is still not resolved. |

That doesn't happen to me on Windows 8.1. Do you save your downloads to the documents folder ? It might also be some extension. |

| Hello Duke, it happens on a completely fresh r3dfox installation. I did not install any extension, and the Download Folder inside r3dfox settings is the default: C:\users\username\Downloads |
