Very weird, this is the TBB direct from Tor.

Trojan:Win32/Malgent!MTB

....Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe

And it links to : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FMalgent!MTB&threatid=2147836816

Anyone else having issues with TBB?

Upload to virus total and show the result. Also its not a good idea to run Tor on windows.

Because windows is full of telemetry and has lots of malware developed for it.

Not to mention the NSA will know you visited the Tor page and have Tor installed.

Its best to use it from Tails

if the NSA knows I shitpost on dread then why do my posts have zero likes?

But doesn’t NSA also by that logic know that you have visited Tails download page and have downloaded the ISO at some point?

[–] Qvest 7 points 1 year ago

by the same logic, they won't know what you do inside Tails, nor when you boot it up

too easy for Microsoft or third-parties to collect telemetry data would be my guess
