Attached image Threat warning.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0

Steps to reproduce:

I installed the Thunderbird 102 upgrade on Mac OS. Every time I open Thunderbird, BitDefender finds a Trojan in one of the Thunderbird files (see attached file for screen capture of the warning).

Actual results:

I manually delete the identified file. Every time I re-open Thunderbird the file is apparently re-created and BitDefender warns that it is infected with a Trojan.

Expected results:

Is this an actual Trojan infection in Thunderbird? Is this a false positive? Thunderbird should be free of viral infections.

Whiteboard: [support[

For whatever it's worth, my AV (not BD) doesn't find any issue with TB.

Daily 104.0a1 (2022-07-05) (64-bit); MacOS 12.4

Reporter, can you try Thunderbird support first?
It's definitely false positive.
What's the file which you deleted? That endless number chain seen in the screenshot?

Yes, the number chain in the screenshot is the file that I delete every time I open Thunderbird 102. It apparently gets regenerated (same file name) every time. Thanks.
