Fake web impersonating the official website of File Converter #481

Open Quemandoacromo opened 2 months ago

There is a fake web (with malware) impersonating the official web of File Converter:

In the fake website footer:

This site previously hosted the open source file converter project maintained by Adrien Allard. This page was created using a customized version of the Cayman theme by Jason Long. image

PS. The installer includes a droper that downloads malware in background

i am really worried that i just double clicked on a virus because i downloaded the file-converter.org one instead. is it the one with zamzar as the installer? (by the way i only double clicked on it then closed it back out 😅)

if anyone can respond to it, please do as fast as you can.

update: windows defender did a full scan and found nothing.
