Kaspersky keeps detecting trojans when opening Reddit posts

August 14

Hi all,

These past couple of days, I have been very confused by Kaspersky notifying me of potential trojans when all I was doing was opening Reddit posts. Kaspersky keeps notifying me of a "malicious object detected" and then a "download denied." Every time, it shows the same virus: HEUR:Exploit.Multi.DrvDos.gen. This has happened three times so far and all three times the posts were on a Windows-related subreddit. I have no idea if that's relevant or not. I am wondering if I should be concerned or if these are all just really weird false positives.

I am running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (Build 19045.4651) and Kaspersky Free 21.17.7.539.

I will include a few screenshots of the reports as well:
