Hi, I am a Joplin user and also a Long time Avast antivirus user. I never seem to get any warnings about Joplin from Avast but whatever you're getting you should in all likelihood simply accept as false positive.

I have had this 5 times since April 20. I just checked, the last md false positive indeed contains an HTTPS link to a commercial website which was perfectly legit the last time I checked. I have 5 md files in quarantine, all with the same file name, but a different name in config\joplin-desktop\tmp.…

BTW, I reported at least the 4 last false positives to Avast, but got no answer.

Avast identifies Joplin infected with md:httprequest-inf [sups]?

Extremely unlikely. Does / did the flagged markdown note contain an HTTP URL?
