I am getting this message about a file not being backed up: "Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software".

The file in question does get flagged by AV at times as it has a keylogger in it, but I do want to back it up (it's AutoIt).

Which file is being flagged? Which antivirus?

This is an automatic mail message from Cobian Reflector. You will find the log files below this text.

This message comes from the OS. My guess is that this is Windows Security Antivirus reporting the file.

Odd, I only use Defender and while I can see in it's history, it's flagging this file in volume shadow copy, not the original.

FYI, I have notifcations turned on for this post (and all interactions), but I do not receive email notifications.

Odd, yes...

A lot of antivirus triggers happen when a file is read, if the antivirus thinks the file is being opened, it might stop it and unless you run a full system scan it might not find it.
