    Avast would scan and send to chest once the download completed!
    I downloaded FLVTube.exe to a Mac and uploaded to Virus Total. In the screen shot, are the seven AV's that flagged!
    The same was recently uploaded to MBAM forums for scrutiny. Results not out as yet.
    A recent thread that should help you out.

    Cheers

    Could be some thing minor that's triggering these Av's. But why take a chance.

    That site is bad. All the links on the page (including the ones at the bottom that are pretending to be links to VLC's site) end up directing to that flvtube.net download site.

    I would definitely stay away. Web of Trust also gives the site a very bad rating.

    If you want to download FLV videos try using FireFox browser and the DownloadHelper addon. If you want to play FLV videos then VLC videoplayer will do that.

    On your computer BUT and this is important: 7 other antivirus programs flag it as malware. It is NOT a false positive. Avoid it unless you want to spend hours cleaning your computer of malware!

    If you simply need something to play flv files then grab http://www.sothinkmedia.com/flv-player/
    or http://www.flvsoft.com/flv_player/
    I use sothink and it works very well to play flv files.

    This may be little of topic but these sites work well for downloading videos from youtube or any web site.All you do is go to the web site and type in the URL of the video and click on download.


    http://downloadyoutubevideo.org/
    http://keepvid.com/
    http://kickyoutube.com/

    I don't think any of those web sites have malware.

    Has for downloading a FLV player ,I think there are players out there that you can download that plays any thing.Than having 5 or 8 players on your computer.
