Malware?

Post by Rubberman »

I keep getting this when scanning my system for malware with clamscan (I am running Firefox 50.x with Adblock Plus 2.8.2 - OS is Mint 18, fully updated): PhishTank.Phishing.4401799.UNOFFICIAL in the adblockplus/patterns.ini file in .mozilla/firefox. Is this an issue with ABP. When I reinstall ABP the warning is gone until sometime later. I am not seeing this on my CentOS 6.8 system running ABP 2.8.1 with Firefox 45.4.

This may have been a false positive. This was from an earlier account. I don't see it in my current home account. I will report again if it shows up another time.

Sure it's a false positive, scan scan the patterns.ini on virustotal.com
