Hi Samuel,
Happy to chime in!
If an antivirus program has outdated definitions, it may mistakenly classify a legitimate file as a false positive, which is most likely what is happening here. Another common reason for false positives is heuristic detection, which identifies potential threats based on behavioral patterns. This approach can occasionally flag legitimate files that exhibit behaviors similar to malware.
One test that you can do to confirm that your Storyline 360 course is malware free is to test using the following sites:
If both websites confirm that the published output is malware free, then you can share this result with your client. From here, they can update their virus definitions to include the file that was falsely being flagged as malicious.
Let me know if you have any questions!
The issue went away magically and now it has happened again. We can confirm that there is no virus or malware present in the zip file that was uploaded onto SharePoint. The issue is that it doesn't affect all files that we upload and only random ones. It is a very annoying issue as this issue was not present in past Storyline published files.
