[Tox Support] qTox for Windows 64-bit - Trojan detected in it

[Peter Arvo]

Hi,

After installing qTox using it a bit, it was left running in the background for several hours in which time my anti-virus/anti-malware detected what it identified as a Trojan from qTox trying to communicate to 194.61.26.205. If I do a search on that IP address it says it belongs to ERA LLC. and they are located in the Netherlands ( https://www.lookip.net/ip/194.61.26.205 ).  It also looks like it is associated with Russia, see the WHOIS information https://www.lookip.net/whois/194.61.26.205 .

This is where I downloaded the qTox software from: https://github.com/qTox/qTox/releases/download/v1.17.3/setup-qtox-x86_64-release.exe

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Peter
