AVAST Trojan warning

Bazza1959 opened this issue · comments

when trying to unpack the zip file, Avast quarantined a file with the following ID
SWF:Agent-FV[Expl] and the (alledged) infected file is BigRig.SWF

now I would assume that this is a false positive, as I doubt GitHub would have files with viruses, but you never know. Would someone (the originator) please confirm that it is NOT a VIRUS, so that I can do this security update for Adobe

This is likely not a false positive, it is a test case designed to elicit properties of a dangerous swf which this program can catch. Avast is technically right to quarantine it.
