Free Download Manager - Multiple Trojan Notices

[KitM]

MalBytes keeps giving me multiple "inbound" and "outbound" trojan notices usually in "bursts" only minutes apart. Two of the most recent:

I have quite a lot more if needed.

Hello,

The IP is housing Linux malware and that's why it is currently blocked.

Feel free to attach the other logs so we can make sure there aren't any false positives.

Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, I've got quite a list of these "attempts". I've included a jpg of the most recent.

Thanks again for your work.

What are you trying to download using FDM?

[KitM]

All of these attempts happen when the program is open yet unused. They happen when I'm doing nothing. They happen surreptitiously - or, rather, would happen that way without Malbytes notifications - with "fdm.exe" open in the background not being used.

They do stop when fdm.exe is closed.

I would recommend you trying out Internet Download Accelerator instead -
