I tried posting this on Reddit but the mods have to approve it and haven’t yet. I’ll warn you guys.
I just downloaded the HumbleBundle Programming MEGA Bundle 2024 by Packt via torrent and stored it in my NAS. That system ran a virus check and found the file pragmaticmicroserviceswithcandazure.zip had a virus Win.Packed.Pwsx-10034067-0 in it. Is this common on HumbleBundle? I would expect something like this on a cybersecurity bundle for studying viruses but not on one about microservices. This zip file is for the book Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure.
Hey thanks for the reply. I just discovered this virustotal website and submitted the file there. Here is the results from their scan. It looks like only ClamAV found the virus so it may be a false positive. I just got worried because I often buy books from HumbleBundle and this is the second time ClamAV quarantined a file from them.
Might be worth tracking down one of the researchers submitting to the clamav software repos and forwarding them a copy of the flagged zip. If they don’t dig in and find malware, they could at least improve the detection algo
