Deluge 1.3.15: Defender flags puamson.a!ml malware

Post by pathogen7 »

Hi Deluge folks,

In addition to Windows Defender flagging Deluge as potentially unwanted software (which I gather is just a thing MS does with torrent software these days), immediately after installing the 1.3.15 version Defender also detected malware labeled puamson.a!ml , which seems like an actual problem.

How secure are your installer downloads? Any chance they've been tampered with?

Hi with the reference above, this is true and not only for Deluge. The version 1.3.15 is outdated and maybe you'll have better luck with the version 2.X.
The problem is mainly present with WD and WD ATP, I didn't see report for other vendors.
