Ok so I grabbed the portable version from Sourceforge to pirate a few of my favorite channels from YT and after a few minutes of working, Malwarebytes Pro coughs up a furball and tells me one of the files is infected with a Generic.Ransomeware???

Anyone else ever run across or hear of anything like this? I know false positives are rampant these days but I’d rather not take the chance.

Also, not to sound stupid but is Sourceforge not the original place to get Tartube???

Thanks for any constructive input!

    It was like 10 years ago but source forge did notably had an issue with malware in their offerings. But they have since claimed to scan these apps…

    So maaaybe?

    As a follow-up, I’ve downloaded the 64-bit exe from Github and actually installed tartube and that seems to be Ok for the time being. I’m running a complete Security sweep right now to see if it catches anything. We’ll see.

    I recently got a zipbomb + trojan through a Github comment. Was removed very quickly and unrecoverably, crazy that they can even so this, not even the repo owners see it anymore.
