The recent ones updates programs driving (drivers) για εκτυπωτές Dell για διάφορες εκδόσεις των Windows επισημαίνονται από ορισμένα προγράμματα προστασίας σαν malicious software.
The bug was identified and reported by journalist Brian Krebs on Twitter.
These drivers seem to have been released by Dell in recent months,. Krebs published its results his research in Virus Total, τα οποία δείχνουν ότι το αρχείο επισημαίνεται σαν “malware” ή “Trojan” από διάφορα προγράμματα, όπως τις εφαρμογές Avast, McAfee, Microsoft, Fortinet and others.
If you're thinking about updating some drivers for your Dell devices today, maybe hold off a bit. Several drivers downloads for printers on Dell's site are being detected by 24 or more antivirus products as malware. eg https://t.co/bw7BDof9CH result -> https://t.co/uWZ8d5dpQR

The logs as you can see from the link above show that at least 29 protection machines detected a file as unsafe.
We do not yet know what causes these crawls and whether these files are secure or have been compromised. Krebs suggests for those who want to download the latest drivers to delay their download for now. The company may release new drivers or provide at least one explanation for the references and validity of its drivers to the public.
