Mediafire?
« on: August 22, 2020, 03:49:59 PM »

Hello ...I am curious as to why when I try to download the patches for BAT that the Media-fire site comes up as "Not Secure", I tried to get 3.8.4 patch and received a malware warning, this has me concerned, as I know that the SAS site is very secure. Does anyone have an idea as to why the downloads listed here go to an unsecured Media-fire download page? Is it okay ? should I just ignore it?

Thank You for your time

So far so good here. I've been patching up since CUP. Now I'm in Windows 10, with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes forming the backbone of my security suite, and BAT 3.8.5. I've had to use the "Run Anyway" option in Defender, but Malwarebytes never says a word, and none of the BAT upgrades I've downloaded has been contaminated with any malware.  8)

Of course, that's just my own experience. It would be worth listening to wiser, more knowledgeable members.

Oh, don't worry, the certificate issue is on mediafire's side - all it really means is that the communication between you and MF's servers is not secure, which does not really matter, because you're just downloading some files. At least if I understood the situation correctly.
