Hi Guys,

I can see this, when downloading the 3.0.0 64bit version of VLC:



Is this just a false positive or maybe a maliscious ad?

Where are you downloading VLC from ?

Always download from the official site and not from a third party site:

Maybe my initial post was misleading. I am using the offical VideoLAN webpage.
If you navigate to the Windows Download page, and select the Windows 64bit Installer, you are forwarded to the download page. And there, the above mentioned ad (well, the blocking of the ad) was shown.
