Hi all

I tried to download the Source Code from here

https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework

and received a message from my ANTI VIRUS :

WARNING: ProxyAV has detected a virus/PUS in this file!

File has been dropped.
ProxyAV (Version 3.4.2.4(100260)) - http://www.BlueCoat.com/
Antivirus Vendor: Kaspersky Labs
Scan Engine Version: 8.1.8.79
Virus/PUS: "PUS:NetTool.Win32.ProxySwitcher.d" found!
URL: hxxps://codeload.github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/zip/master

--------

Does anybody received the same message?

Thanks

Beni

Hey Beni,

Selenium - the testing server we use for automated testing seems to trigger some Anti-virus software to think a file inside the selenium zip contains a virus. I believe this is what is causing Kaspersky from stopping the download.

Have a look at this link:

Thanks,

Hi Beni,

I think this is a false positive. The framework bundles Selenium for nightwatch.js testing. I think this is what's causing the issue here.

Some discussion on this here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.selenium.devel/9734
