27.9.0 -Ransomware ?
Just updated to 27.9.0 on a Win 10 PC and Trend Micro security has both blocked the .exe file and identified it as ransomware.

Re: 27.9.0 -Ransomware ?
Have you tried disabling (turning off) Trend Micro, then installing Pale Moon 27.9.0? This is one way to get around a false positive. Then once Pale Moon is installed, re-enable Trend Micro. This should solve the problem and hopefully, TM will get it's act together concerning Pale Moon with a false positive.peteh wrote:Just updated to 27.9.0 on a Win 10 PC and Trend Micro security has both blocked the .exe file and identified it as ransomware.

TM program is prompting for a response- I can add PM to the exception list and allow it to run normally. Thanks for your input, it was a bit alarming to see that warning!Night Wing wrote:Have you tried disabling (turning off) Trend Micro, then installing Pale Moon 27.9.0?

@ peteh
I use the free version of Avast AV in Windows 7. Avast will always flag Pale Moon (on all four of my computers) as a suspicious program because of the "unkown" in the prompt. I manually update Pale Moon in Windows 7 by downloading the new installer for PM to my Desktop.
With the new PM installer sitting on my Desktop, I then go into Programs & Features and manually uninstall the older version of PM. Then I turn off Avast, install the newest version of Pale Moon and then turn Avast back on by re-booting all of my computers, one at a time.
