Hi,
I use Chrome + Hola + Netflix. In the last 2 days I have had a popup Chrome window twice now trying to get me to install Malware.
The first I didnt take much notice of it - but fl_setup.exe 80kb looked suspicious - wasnt detected by MS Security Essentials - so decided to test via online virustotal.com - seems to run the file against most of the av tools. It came back with a hit on 9 detections in the file.. Microsoft was shown on the site as passing the file, no detection. Access to the URL of the detections may be possible via https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/5cfc2e5c20c37fc11a920ffb2571cc0dbf2dca69c847bd8b6d1197b664217f71/analysis/

So I deleted the file, and was perplexed..
Today while trying to access the same netflix + hola via Chrome I had the second new popup window.. this time wanting me to install "Internet Download Manager".. this was the popup link

I decided against pushing the "install button" within this window - and seek advice...
I ran a Malwarebytes check just now and got (the first file is the fl_setup.exe file in the recycle bin)
Scan Type: Threat Scan

Anyone else noticed this behavior ? Or have any advice ?
I am using the free Hola version..
Thx Pete
