After reading this, I tried to download my data from Facebook. However, avast antivirus on my machine detected a Trojan in the zip file from Facebook with my data and blocked the download with this message:
"We've safely aborted connection on bigzipfiles.facebook.com because it was infected with Java:Malware-gen[Trj]"
I find this very weird. Did anyone here faced the same issue ?
- acct1771 9y agoFacebook is literally spyware most everyone's convinced themselves is okay.
- freehunter 9y agoUnless Facebook is serving up malware in its zip files (possible, but unlikely IMO), you may have other malware on your machine that could be piggybacking off the connection to download more junk. I'd run a full scan with Malwarebytes to be sure.
- rainhacker 9y agoThis was the case indeed. A full scan weeded out the existing trojans.
