Unable to open Filezilla
Filezilla has been working fine on my Mac for years.
This morning, I tried to open Filezilla and I got the message:
The application "Filezilla" can't be opened.
No updates have been run on Mac OS or Filezilla
And Filezilla was working fine yesterday.

FileZilla doesn't stop working on its own. Something must have changed on your system.

Re: Unable to open Filezilla
that's what I would have expected. Only updates since yesterday were to Microsoft Office.
Hence the post here, as I cannot see any other changes since yesterday.

Re: Unable to open Filezilla
I just ran into the same problem. I run avast anti-virus on my mac and it it let me know that the filezilla download had the MacOSInstallCore-PUP adware bundled into it.
Does this mean that the latest filezilla was corrupted?

Re: Unable to open Filezilla
Yep, same thing for me on my Mac. Only change since I last launched FileZilla was Microsoft Office updates and Avast definitions updates. If I uninstall FileZilla, then turn off Avast File Shield, reinstall FileZilla, it works. If I turn File Shield back on, it fails immediately and I have to go through the install again. My guess is that avast is seeing something it does not like.
Re: Unable to open Filezilla
You can always try the non-bundled packages from
https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1
in case your snake oil complains.

Re: Unable to open Filezilla
The same exact thing is happening to me as well since this morning I can not use FileZilla Anymore.
If I am trying to download the unbundled version or even the regular version from the site I get this:

If I am Trying to open FileZilla I get This:

The only way to make it temporarily work is to disable Avast, download FileZilla, reinstall it and open it with no avast enabled.
If I am trying to open it even with avast off after filezilla was closed I cannot open it anymore and I need to reinstall it to open it!
please fix it this asap! and I am glad to see I am not alone!
this is the file that goes in the virus chest:

thanks
waiting for updates!!

Re: Unable to open Filezilla
Update for what? Avast breaks FileZilla and FileZilla cannot fix that. Report it to the Avast support channels.

Re: Unable to open Filezilla
also the filezilla installation file is installing an infected chrome extension and a program called
chromium
which is like google chrome that runs in the background and its hard to remove since its hidden!
