Bitdefender shows "fraud attempt" on FiveM startup – even after full reinstall

[jonas_blum]

What is the issue you’re having?

Hello,

I’m experiencing a consistent issue with FiveM and Bitdefender.
Every time I launch FiveM, Bitdefender immediately blocks a fraud attempt related to this domain:

cdn.astro-life.com

The warning says it’s triggered by:
fivem_chromebrowser

This happens:

Immediately on startup, before I join any server

Even after a full clean reinstall (I deleted AppData\Local\FiveM, AppData\Roaming\CitizenFX, cleared DNS, and installed FiveM again from the official website: https://fivem.net)

Without ever connecting to a server

I previously played on these servers:

Nacro City

Modern V

LateNight

NRW Roleplay

So I suspect one of them may have cached a malicious UI script or is causing FiveM to load external content.

Steps to reproduce:

Launch FiveM

Bitdefender shows a “fraud attempt” warning from cdn.astro-life.com

The source is always fivem_chromebrowser

This happens every time

System Info:

Windows 11

Bitdefender Antivirus (up to date)

FiveM downloaded from https://fivem.net

Question:
How can I completely remove whatever script or cached resource is causing this?
Is there a way to stop fivem_chromebrowser from loading external content in the background?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Jonas

The usual case for this is one of the servers pinned on the main page / in your history reach out to that domain to load whatever stuff they do on the browser (usually the logo), so that’s why this happens. It’s loaded automatically when FiveM starts in those cases, without any user action.
Ignore it and let BitDefender block it, unless you know this causes any issues for you.
