Hello,

As I am going to dive into virtualization, I tried to download an ISO of Ubuntu. Unfortunately, my antivirus (emsisoft) blocks the download by detecting an intrusion. In the log, event category, the detection is named proxad.net. What is it about?

Configuration: Linux / Firefox 31.0

    Hello
    Maybe it's not a virus file or an infection; it could be that there's an automatic opening of this site proxad.net
    If you want to stop the alerts from your antivirus, add it to the exclusion list
    But I advise you to run a scan with this software to remove the virus if there is one:

    Hi,

    "Proxad.net" is one of the domain names used by the company Iliad/Free; in this case, it is one of their download servers for ISO files and other software repositories, so the link theoretically poses no risk.

    By the way, for what reason was it detected, if that's specified?

    Best,

    I think it comes from his behavioral protection, which can sometimes be slightly paranoid. Once, Emsisoft deemed it a good idea to block a download on my-config (it had detected an infection in a driver update)

    After that, unfortunately, I don't have more information to give you.
