Browser Support Desktop Support
1

Hello Community,
So far i haven’t had an issue with Brave so far until now. The flag comes from my Anti-virus Kaspersky when visiting CarAndDriver website, also Running Windows 10. Does Brave provide a Sandbox service for testing files or viruses?

I have a concern regarding the file type: :point_down: :face_with_monocle:
Name: not-a-virus:HEUR:AdWare.Script.Pusher.gen

Also a log from Kaspersky: :point_down:

Visiting this site was the main trigger for flagging the file: :point_down:
www.caranddriver .com/bmw/m4

Close the window.

PS. You have the Car and Driver address as: www.caranddriver .com/bmw/m4

Should be: https://www.caranddriver.com/bmw/m4 (closing the gap before ‘.com’)

The hearstapps.com source does appear (info online) to supply trouble for your privacy / security.
