Hi, Some one please help I'm worried that flash video downloader is malicious, is it safe from the Mozilla ad-ons site "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader/?src=cb-dl-featured" I have been using it for years but Ive found that the website "flashvideodownloader.org" on the threat databases of McAfee Norton and AVG. That there is a nasty trogen on there page this extremely worries me unless there in the adverts which I nether click on anyway "The name of the trogen is Artemis 1994F2879D1"

My antivirus has not picked anything up so far but after I had removed the ad-on and looked round my PC for any traces of the ad-on I found a folder with a text document in, but I think to access these sites you would have to click on some of the other tools offered it the ad-on. please for your protection don't click on any of the links!!!!!!!

"speed.pointroll.com" "ad-g.doubleclick.net" "naked.com" "exoclick.com" "pointroll.com" "edgesuite.com" "mtvnservices.com" "gfrevenge.com" "71i.de" "contentabc.com" "tekenetryverification.net" "nbcuni.com" "2mdn.net" "filesonic.com" "pop6.com" "daredorm.com" "adrocketmedia.com" "moviebox.com" "amateurmatch.com"

Please help me and give me the correct needed advice

Look forward from hearing from you,

Thanks, Matthew Hayllar

Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader/?src=cb-dl-featured and near the reviews, hit "report abuse" and give as many details as possible.

Mozilla inspects every add-on before allowing it to be hosted there, and inspects every update for currently hosted add-ons. Pretty safe bet that you aren't going to have a problem after installing that extension, and surely not a Trojan - that is the first thing which is screened for before AMO will allow an add-on to even be uploaded to their server for additional automated screening and then a manual code inspection.

Just because the website for that add-on is in those threat databases, it doesn't mean their extension contains anything malicious.
