virus detection - Checks
Hi, I am running the french FF 79.0 64 bit I just started to download the latest iso of debian 10.5 from the official Mirror and got the FF warning that it contains a virus. I am not sure if you have a team to check false positive as this is the official site and that it was released only yesterday https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-10.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso and I am getting worried after I got this message. Thank you in advance. Regards, Stephane

I checked the downloaded file and the SHA512SUM matches the listed checksum.

Hi Stephane, I think this warning is based on data from the Google SafeBrowsing project:
Perhaps there is a Debian forum where they can consider this and advise you on whether that is a safe download?
Is this really a warning from Firefox or a warning from security software on your computer since you are downloading a Linux ISO image on a Windows computer ?
Can you attach a screenshot ?

- use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
This was how it looked on mine (Windows 10). There was nothing unusual until after the download was completed. At that point, the process seems to have paused because the .part file was not renamed to or merged with the real file name.
