Hello, the antivirus is alerting me from a possible virus alert when I use JDownloader 2.0 and forces me to restart the PC.
I have been taking a look to the quarantined items and I see this comes from JDownloader 2.0 but, researching a bit, seems to be this happen with a certain provider: Prefiles.

I have the following in the quarantined items from my antivirus (NOD32 9.0):

VIRUS ALERT: JS/Adware.Serhox.A

FOLDER: c:\users\NAME_OF_THE_USER\local\JDownloader 2.0\logs\LOG_NUMBER_AND_DATE\prefiles.com_jd.plugins.hoster.PreFilesCom.log.0

After this, the antivirus forces me to restart the PC.
No infection has happened whatsoever (at the moment).

I don't know very well how to understand this information, but seems to be, everytime JDownloader 2.0 try to log in to Prefiles.com, this provider try to install some kind of spyware.

I understand this because the quarantined items in the antivirus point to the prefiles.com plugin and also because this alert, do not happen always, just sometimes... when JDownloader 2.0 try to connect to PreFiles.

I would like to remove the links to PreFiles.com, the problem is I do not clean the download links since 2014 and I have 814 download links, very old.

Now, inside that chaos, how do I find all the download links I have pointing to PreFiles.com?

Any idea please?

Cheers

A log is just a text file, if you add prefiles.com links or download prefiles.com files, the log will contain html of prefiles.com pages which might contain link to virus or something else.

You can remove prefiles.com links by filtering by hoster at bottom of the panel.

Yes, I know but as I said, the problem is how do I find all the links I have from Prefiles to remove them?

May I filter the servers to find all the prefiles links I have? How may I filter the servers?

?
Choose "Hoster" and type "prefiles", press enter, select, press delete.

Sorry... Choose "Hoster" ?
How may I do that? I don't know where is that in the menu? Can you give me more specifics, please?

as tony indicated, log files are harmless. JD by default doesn't execute any JavaScript so it's not going to cause your system any harm. You can add exclusion/exemption to JDownloader install path then you wont get path.
