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).
Virus or potentially unwanted software?
Re: Virus or potentially unwanted software?
Which file is being flagged? Which antivirus?

Re: Virus or potentially unwanted software?
This message comes from the OS. My guess is that this is Windows Security Antivirus reporting the file.

Re: Virus or potentially unwanted software?
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.

Re: Virus or potentially unwanted software?
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.
