388446 - add report mode for malware

Status: REOPENED

(Toolkit :: Safe Browsing, defect, P5)

Description

[Marria Nazif]

There should be a way for users to report urls that they think are hosting malware, in a way similar to the reporting mechanism for phishing.  The proper url for this report is http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/

Please use http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/?tpl=mozilla (with the tpl parameter) so we can get a mozilla-flavored page up at some point.

How'd we miss this? Lots of people have asked how to report it, and I've seen suggestions on the web that people just go ahead and use the inappropriate phishing-report page.

No-go for 3.0.x due to localization I would guess :-(

Tracking flags are only used for new/critical user issues. This is a longstanding feature request that would need to be prioritized (but not for a specific release).

I'm not the right assignee here.

Win32/Bitrep.B -Trojaner, Win32:Small-HUF trojan, TrojanDownloader:VBS/Psyme or similar malware is distributed through malspam campaign, illegal activation tools, fake software updaters, downloaders, and installers. Once they gain access to computer, they can damage your computer by opening your system's backdoor, draining CPU & GPU and memory. So, yes, this malware is dangerous and can cause system damage. In such case, you can run System scan with some powerful antivirus software for malware or viruses.
