Somehow this en.softonic nonsense has made it into my windows notifications tab under 'firefox' notifications. How can I get rid of it? I can't find it in the General, Add-on or Extensions settings of Firefox or Windows Uninstall to turn it off or remove it.
A recent blog post on The Safe Mac drew our attention to a report of a fake Flash alert that led to a fake installer download. At the time of the report, the fake alert detected OS X browsers and delivered a Genieo installation disk image:
Previous versions of the Genieo installer were opt-in, and the installer asked for a password. This most recent delivery method required neither and was clearly trying to trick users into thinking the installer was something other than it really was.
This led us to the Genieo app generator for Genieo and their list of partners. While there is no explicit reference to Softonic there, but the genTugM partner installer still points to a Genieo version that contains text referencing Softonic.
This dynamic library injects the second, libgenkitsa.dylib, into Safari when the browser is launched. This enables it to intercept searches on Google, Bing and Yahoo and silently redirect them to Genieo or its partner engine.
I created an application which comprises a number of *.exe files. I've packaged these up into an NSIS installer which I hosted on my website. When I try to download it Chrome reports it as potentially malicious. At first I thought it could be the URL/site I was hosting on not being recognized so I signed up for Amazon S3 storage and moved the file there. Same problem. I then thought that packing the executables might cause this, so I tried without.
Same issue.
After some more reading I decided to try signing the executables as well as the installer package EXE.
Still malicious... I check the exe's even after download and confirmed they have a digital signature tab, granted it's not a fully verified commercial certificate but I can't believe the only way around Chromes half-baked code analysis is to spend $200 a year to have a verisign etc. code signing cert issued?
The solution I found was to sign up to Google Webmaster Tools and add my site. It took several days for Google to crawl my site, and fill in any information, but I went back today and finally found loads of information there.
You are signing the exes, but I'm not quite sure your certificate is backed by a Certification Authority, like Verisign. They sell this services. But yet, I'm not sure signing will make any difference. Chrome reads the files' names inside the zip, but I don't think it decompress the entire file to read the sign.
I ended up registering with Softonic and CNET's Upload.com, and submitted my application for review and inclusion on their sites. After their approval, I added the link to my site, the file downloaded fine.
The only bad thing is that you need to download the Softonic downloader to install your application on softonic, but CNET offers a "direct download link" that allows you to download your original installer.
If you have a domain with a non-standard domain suffix such as .one, Chrome will complain. So will FireFox for that matter.I don't think this was the OP's problem but if you land here because you're searching madly trying to figure out why a commom file like a .zip file is giving you a warning in Chrome or FF when downloading, it could very well be that you need to use a common domain suffix such as .com
I also had this issue. I am using a certificate generated from my own CA which is installed to the Trusted root certification authorities. At first signing wasn't enough, but then I added file version with my name on it and also an icon. Now Chrome is happy to download and run it.
En.softonic.com is an Android software component that causes the browser to show intrusive advertisements and reroute the user to sponsored webpages. In addition to that, En.softonic.com may collect different data from the device and use it for displaying targeted ads, banners and pop-ups on the screen.
The En.softonic.com notifications on Android are a notable cause for concern. Browser hijackers, like En.softonic.com and others such as Betterconnection.co.in, raise apprehensions due to the extensive permissions they often acquire on a device without explicit user consent. These permissions may grant access to sensitive information like location, phone number, and operating system version. While third-party marketers may use this data for targeted advertising, the risk of information being hacked or stolen poses a potential threat to user privacy and security. This underscores the importance of scrutinizing app permissions to safeguard personal data from unwanted exposure or misuse by potentially malicious entities.
