[PSA] - "Dangerous Files" on Volafile
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,

Over this past week I've noticed Chrome stopping the download of video files (all types - MOV, MP4, AVI, MKV, etc) and some archives (ZIP, RAR, 7Zip, etc) on many different Volafile boards.

I've attached a screenshot of the pop-up notification presented by Chrome. YMMV, but I thought it might be good info to pass along.

Thanks,

e4rl

UPDATE: Now Firefox is saying some of the files from Vola are dangerous or contain malware. Be careful out there.

I'm not at all certain that the 'dangerous file' alerts from web browsers are connected to this newly reported issue that VLC is experiencing but I do find it suspect. If you're using Windows or Linux systems you may want to uninstall VLC.

Be careful out there.
