I received a virus warning when trying to download a compressed .net application folder from Google Drive.
I uploaded the file originally and have scanned it locally and it is virus free.
Using virustotal.com I was able to narrow down the files causing the failure. Both are resource dlls. It is the Resources.resources.dll (English and Spanish versions). However, when I scan the original files prior to publication, all are clean.
Each time, it is Commtouch and F-Prot that find the virus.
What would cause this and how do I fix it?
For anyone interested, Google has created a feature request to allow an admin to permit flagged files for download. This means, if we know it is safe and getting a false positive we can ignore the issue.
It isn't ideal, but at least it allows for this collaboration.
