FileZilla Security Issue
Posted: 2019-04-26 11:33
I have been using FileZilla, for the past 2 years, with very few issues. That is, up until now.
I had just gone to access a website, via File > Site Manager, where I could see that all of the Field Boxes had been greed out as well as the on-page Tabs. Assuming some form of corruption had occurred, I proceeded to Uninstall FileZilla and install a clean version via the Official Site.
Unfortunately, my Anti-Virus and Firewall (Norton) were blocking the download; citing security concerns. I then disabled the Anti-Virus and Firewall, which allowed the download but when I enabled the Anti-Virus and Firewall, it automatically deleted FileZilla and highlighted security concerns again.
This has never happened in the 2+ years I have been using FileZilla. As such, I am wondering if there are any issues at present and when these may be resolved?
