Hello all.

I recently downloaded firefox from the official site as per usual (windows version) and I ran a virustotal check and got a trojan positive.

The md5sum is: 4409905bd4544c6f45e4d5737f130d75

The sha256sum is:

d390bfce3fed1be8c153aebfb9f28043981071b5338745e9207547178f32bf64

It's signed by Mozilla (extremely unlikely that's a virus unless they got hacked) and it's detected as trojan only by "max secure", a questionable snake oil product that is like a broken clock, correct only twice a day

Conclusion: it's safe
