help! I think it's a wrong judgment that the antivirus program is a virus.

Question

Yoon, SeongJoon 0

hi,

A project developed with ms' asp.net was detected as a virus by the antivirus program (Mcafee) in the iis server.

The path is:

1)

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\noanswer\ef1ddbcf\c449915d\App_Web_2d15vgd4.dll

2)

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\47ce7755\5435cbe6\App_Web_r43xtscy.dll

I think it is the file that normal temporary files are created.

Should I judge it as a virus in this part?

The company said that a virus came out of a project I made, so I'm in trouble.

Because I depend on a translator, I ask for your understanding even if the sentence is awkward.

The Antivirus Exclusion List is right. If you need to explain the correctness of this list to others. You can refer to this official document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/developer/webapps/aspnet/www-administration-management/exclude-folders-antivirus-scanning. This official document explains why antivirus software needs to exclude certain folders.
