3 years ago Hello @carlp101 ... I work on topics for the ASP.NET Core docs, and we hit this, too, for one of our 14 PS scripts that we furnish in our repo to readers. Bitdefender's heuristic scanning is flagging such scripts based on pattern matching ... something that it thinks might be a virus or malware. I spoke with a content writer for the PowerShell docs, and it seems like there are only two ways to resolve this:
- Bitdefender should receive a copy of the script and be informed that it isn't a virus. They might be able to adjust their pattern matching algorithm. I doubt this approach would be effective, but it might be worth a shot.
- Readers/users of the docs (in our case, those who clone our docs repo locally) should add an exception to Bitdefender for whatever script(s) are getting quarantined.
I don't work directly with the members of the team that maintains this repo, so I can't say what action, if any, that they will take on your issue here. I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in this ... it's definitely an issue to contend with in docs and samples.
