 Hi.
 I did update/download this new browser version: 7.0.7.
 It seemed to work well when I surfing on the net.
 But later when I ran my virus protection program, the antivirus program
 announced that it had found the Trojan virus (W32/App.a3470959d2!)
 IN Tor Browser:707 FILE and after that the antivirus program put the
 Trojan into quarantine immediately.
 Never before there has been any problems with viruses when I used the Tor
 Browser, did this Trojan horse come with the New Tor browser?
 Or did it come from some website and hiding now in the Tor Browser file?
 Because when I destroyed it, it come back in to the Tor Browser folder.
 I ran my Antivirus program again and placed it in quarantine.
 Do I dare to use this new version of the browser anymore?
 Is it safe?

 Regards
 johan
