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

I've been using computers for 30 years and never once has an antivirus program been helpful or accurate. But yeah, I don't download and click on random stuff from the web.
