#32456: Add a question about anti-virus reporting a virus in Tor Browser ---------------------------------------+------------------ Reporter: boklm | Owner: ggus Type: task | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Community/Tor Support | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ---------------------------------------+------------------ With each new Tor Browser release, some users are complaining that Tor Browser is reported as a possible virus by their antivirus. It seems that some anti-virus are reporting any program that has not yet been seen by many of their users as suspicious. Maybe also that some malwares include a copy of tor, leading some antivirus to claim that any program including a copy of tor is a malware.
I think we should add a question about this on support.tpo, to explain that those warnings can be ignored if Tor Browser has been downloaded from the official website. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32456> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
