by FirefoxUser72345, 8 months agoWARNING VIRUS AND QR CODE PAYMENT RANSOM
The downloader does not work on YouTube but says you need the companion app, fair enough so I download it.
It then adds a MASSIVE QR Code which you can only remove by PAYING for a license, this is a breach of Mozilla rules.
So I tested the companion download on VirusTotal plus some other sites.
The result says two sites found malware called W32.AIDetectMalware
VBA32 & TrojanDownloader.Private
So I test elsewhere and get this description for above
f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader.shtml#
this type of trojan secretly downloads malicious files from a remote server, then installs and executes the files.

No way I am risking this, there are other video download apps
