When Google URLs were blocked tonight it deleted/quarantined tons of PDF files


Recommended Posts

At the same time when Google URLs were blocked earlier I ran a virus scan and it totally nuked like 40+ PDFs. from my OneDrive. I had to go an restore them all via ESET and re-ran with ESET and other scanners which showed up safe. 

PDF/Phishing.A.Gen trojan - cleaned by deleting [1]

Did anyone else have this issue you too? It freaked me out a bit, and if i didn't notice I would have just lost tons of important PDF documents etc.

You might want to check your ESET logs to make sure the native scanner didn't go nuts.

I didn't run a virus scan but I was checking the logs and PDF files were deleted from several users' computers at that time. But luckily only the EULA files from Snagit were deleted.

Very strange.

Same happened here. Maybe 20 PDFs scattered across various workstations and and an HTML file associated with FoxIt PDF Editor's DocuSign implementation (with a Google reference in it).
