    @Xdqwerty Cool. It's a safe browser, I just don't like the ethics of Chrome and prefer to support Firefox.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    So assuming it could be tied to a pirated version of the os you installed on the vm
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @ZucchiniMaiden, and bc I don't wanna be scolded for changing stuff on my PC
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Hmm
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Anytime you come across a suspicious file, a detected threat, suspect a file detection may be a possible false positive or you want a second opinion, submit it to one of the online services that analyzes suspicious files for possible malware.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I installed a Windows XP ISO onto a VM and used a fake product key, as does everybody else, so my best bet is that it's either a false positive or Windows XP having terrible security.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The product key generator could be tied to mailware like mentioned in the links
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    No, just found product keys in a list on archive.org
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    whatevs, Security removed it from my device
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    There you go
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Pirated copies of os can also be detected especially with torrent links

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Settings > Home > Change 'New Tabs' to anything.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.
