Why does the virustotal tags this site as “malicious”?

Hi, do you have an example?

I've just done the test and I don't see any particular issue:

Oh I see, this a problem with huggingface.co and not the codebase of https://github.com/jbilcke-hf/ai-comic-factory

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/453cb49f45b2d3e3003607d9987cfb5ca578753f989a8319ebc27ad4ecfad156

I don't develop or maintain huggingface.co, but it appears that you can just ignore this warning.

There are only two alarms out of 90, and you should check them manually:

Alarm 1 (CRDF): if you check manually by going to the CRDF website, it says:

Threats found on the website:
EICAR Test-NOT virus!!!
Eicar-Signature
EICAR Test File (NOT a Virus!)
EICAR-Test-File

Which is a false alarm (proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file )

huggingface.co contains a virus detector (this is to prevent people from uploading viruses), so it probably has some kind of database or list of virus signatures or test signatures in javascript

Alarm 2 (Quottera): same here, there is nothing to be worried about, if you check manually on Quottera it says there is nothing to be alarmed of, so the whole thing is a false alarm: https://quttera.com/detailed_report/huggingface.co
