Exclamation Calibre vulnerable. Flagged by antivirus
Regular checking on health of my system produced the following warnings:
Click image for larger version Name: Screen Shot 2019-12-22 at 01.18.04.png Views: 197 Size: 440.4 KB ID: 175808

FYI by TaskExplorer from the wonderful people at Objective -see

There is something there, great people.

It would be nice if you would supply info as to what platform and also a readable image.

I surmise it's a Mac; what version of Mac OS?

Whatever OS X and whatever antivirus is in use, that AV program is rubbish if it thinks Calibre is a problem.

Ultimately all AV are rubbish. Some are terrible. Many dramatically slow computer. Switch off real time scan and only scan on demand when you download/install new content.

Most cause more problems with false positives than prevention. None block new threats.
Script blocking on a web browser, not clicking links in email, disable all Autorun, disable uPNP (esp on Routers) and disabling vulnerable services not needed, ignoring unsolicited support calls etc are all far more effective than AV programs.

Once you click on the image here on mobileread, you have to right click and choose "open image in new tab" to see it full sized (at least in chrome).
