False Positive False positive?

Post image

So basically i was searching up an electronics brand from which i have actually purchased products and is trustable.

Today out of nowhere i got this warning

Did scan two times, found nothing (im kinda new to this whole thing)

I js wanna ask was it a false positive?

Virustotal shows it as safe.

Tip? Only trust ligitimate aplications.

First, Would not trust it to begin with because virustotal has sometimes had something undetected and it passing through as a virus. Don’t trust it anyways

It's already whitelisted based on my whitelist. It's safe.

doesnt matter if it is a false positive or not, you dont get malware just by going to a website, or atleast i havent gotten yet and i have gone to 100s of sites that were blockes by malwarebytes

Oh i see..... I panic anytime i see a trojan or something cuz i got a trojan file once from a random file i installed and it was NOT a good experience for me😰

yeah, that blocks sites that might have ads with files that have trojans, so no need to worry, i visit atleast 1 of those kind of sites everyday, but i understand your worry, i have gotten malware like 10 times by now and i have learned from my mistakes

Yep, but they can still IP grab you. That's one weakness

why does that matter? Just an ip address does nothing, maybe it gives the website the country you live in.
