Hello ClamAV support !
I was trying to download (using Edge browser) the *.cvd files from
your site. That failed, so I tried using power shell’s ‘invoke
webrequest’ method. That seemed to have trigged a security alert on
your side.
Below is the command I issued.
After I tried using just Chrome browser, I saw a stackoverflow page
that suggested you have to give a unique value for UserAgent. Perhaps
that is what triggered the alert?
We’re in a closed (air gapped) network here, which is why I had to try
this method.
thanks
