** Description changed:
When downloading .chm/.epub/.pdf files from a given site, FF 50.1.0 reports that there are malwares in them.
- This is certainly wrong (clamscan reports no problem on the files...) and seems to be *only* based on *wrong suppositions* on the origin URL...
+ This is *certainly* wrong (no antivirus detects them as problematic(*)) and seems to be *only* based on *wrong suppositions* on the origin URL...
Such a blocking of downloaded files is erroneous.
Indeed, downloading from supposedly "illegal" sites (is a site that
proposes links to supposedly illegal stuff illegal in itself? Whoi are
you to decide it is illegal?) does not means you get "illegal" files
(how do you know I don't own the rights to get the file), nor that the
(supposedly "illegal") files are *always* infected by malware... Also,
malware target mostly (specific versions of) Windows OS/App, which I do
not use, so I REALLY DON'T CARE of what FF assumes of the risks I'm
taking. Please, do not make any stupid assumptions (like that I'm a
stupid Windows user) and let me do what *I* want on *my* machines!!!
