Antivirus keeps flagging something escargot related


Malware Bytes keeps flagging i04.escargot.log1p.xyz as a malicious website

Error code/error message: N/A

What has been tried so far: Running system scans and what I believe is Windows Live Messenger trying to connect to severs

Messenger version: WLM 2009

Windows version Windows 11 Home

Just ignore it. The site is safe.

With further checking, it may be the fact of the domain (log1p.xyz) is insecure, via visiting the link, it just redirects to msnmsgr.escargot.chat

same happens to me, it also detected the escargot msn plus software as a wacatac trojan, i deleted it just in case, but ik that escargot is safe.

That is normal behavior from AVs.
It’s a false-positive.
Antiviruses sometimes do that either because of the .xyz TLD (Top Level Domain, aka the last part of a domain) or either because the program might contain code that triggers the AV.

Just add an exception (or whitelist them, or whatever they’re called) for the domains and/or programs needed.
