Virustotal scan

When I scanned the forge minecraft site into VirusTotal, it said that this website was malacious. Are any of the downloads malacious in Forge? I just want to know if it is safe. https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/2b182007428b7e53503d6e1b77ebbfbf24686faedb73a890ba88df4bc7778cc1/detection

 

BTW virustotal is a safe website to analyze suspicious websites if they seem suspicious

Forge itself is safe. The Adfocus links may or may not be safe. If you don't see a bar at the top, something might've went wrong.

 

A couple years ago, the Adfocus links were taking me to a fake-blue screen scareware with persistent dialog boxes making me unable to close the tab. If this happens to you, ctrl+alt+delete to open Task Manager and "End Task" on your browser. If the problem is recurring, the "All Versions" list have a little info button which would provide the "Direct Download" when you hover over it. Alternatively, you can get the direct link from the Adfocus link by copying link address (right-click on the button, not actually clicking it) and the direct link is all the stuff after "&url="

If that is happening to you, report it with screenshots here and ill have the ads pulled. they should never be doing that.

 

On a slightly related note, consider paetron as the main/only goal is removal of adfocus links for all.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

Ads are ads, sadly it's the reality of having server costs and other expenses.

Tho none of them should be malicious, as I try my best to weed those out on the rare occasions they pop up, but they are ads.

Which by definition means they are trying to sell you something, or get you to install whatever tool/program they are advertising.

If you are interested, install it, if not just download forge's files.
