Hello,

I've tried submitting the file twice and adding the information that could be helpful, but it never finishes uploading to F-Secure.

Previously Mullvad Browser would run with F-Secure versions 19. at least as far as I remember. Now it is being quarantined by F-Secure as Drop.Win64.MemMapSelf.9214

https://www.f-secure.com/en/support/search#q=Drop.Win64.MemMapSelf.9214&f:@source=%5BThreatDescriptions%5D

When I checked the download, which was from Mullvads site on Virus Total, it only showed on obscure vender as flagging it. F-Secure did not give me a pop up notification, but only shutting Mullvad down after it has been running for about 3 seconds. I had to look in the Quarantined section to find out what happened.

Is this a false positive? I'm on v.25.2 (6.0.1641.0)

Thank you.

    Thanks 🙂, I thought of that already, but hesitate, because what if the browser really ís insecure…

    And I submitted the file and URL. Hopefully it will be fixed. And if the problem persist much longer I'll exclude the browser nevertheless.
