why is this program now being blocked http://free_video_cutter_joiner.en.softonic.com/
i have been using it with zero problems and now i am stuck for a video joiner
What error or alert are you getting ?
A screenshot of the alert would help.
It is blocked because it comes bundled with adware/pup.
Some names of the detection :
Win.Adware.Eorezo-528
PUA.Spyware.XPCSpyPro
Bladabindi.P.owvf
W32/Felix:CO:Delphi!Eldorado
FileRepMalware
OK, the FileRep alerts are based on reputation, something from an unknown source or not very well known program and probably not digitally signed.
I can’t see the complete file name, but the URL (sub-folder) does look a bit random.
That said I don’t know what download option you chose, but I wouldn’t signin just to test the download. That only leaves the Alternative Download and if you just hover over that link - it has a massive URL - then you can see it is a download tracker. So I can’t see the source, so I wasn’t going to proceed. But as Eddy mention it appears to come bundled with other programs/apps.
You can try to report this to avast as a false positive - https://support.avast.com/support/tickets/new.
it will be fixed in next VPS
