What is the full address of the offending link? E.g., Is it pixls.us or discuss.pixls.us, with a in text link to gmic.eu? Or gmic.eu itself? The more info the better.
Opera, eh? I havenāt used it in a long time. I hear it has VPN and other interesting features.
I get the notification when I type pixls.us in the browser and open the site.
As far as I can tell, pixls loads fine. But I get the pop-up every time I go to it.
Iāve been using for close to 20 years. They have always been on the cutting edge of features. They had tabbed browsing years before any other browser. I was a bit saddened when they dropped their own engine and switched to Chromium, but it definitely helped with site compatibility.
Edit: I just tested it, and I get the notification in Chrome and Edge as well.
This has been reported before indeed.
I still donāt know how they have decided gmic was a malware, Iām curious about it.
Itās a bit sad to know their database is probably full of such false positives.
Kinda reminds me of how anything that uses PyInstaller is flaged by McAfee because someone at some point was exceptionally lazy and wrote a Python trojan using PyInstaller - the āstubā gets flagged by the heuristic system.
Iāve had my work PC quarantined at IT twice due to accidentally pipping Kivy, which pulls in PyInstaller, which makes McAfee go nuts
Just report it as a false positive to whomever reports the false positive and move on (or even better disable/remove whatever is causing the false positives).
