Anyone else had that issue? The file was one of Discords files, not the main .exe, but I went ahead and quarantined it to be safe...

It may have been a link someone posted flagging avg. Discord is pretty much a web browser.

I remember a post on the forums about Discord sending up virus red flags when we switched to discord a couple months back. It was checked out and deemed not to be an issue.

What was the file that got flagged? Running virustotal on the installer doesn't mean much. What did AVG say it was?
