I just tried downloading sysinternals suite from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite?source=docs My Sophos scanner blocked it saying virus was found.

- PSExec.exe
- PSExec64.exe
- pskill.exe
- pskill64.exe
I have Sophos endpoint protection and these get blocked.
You can download the remaining tools individually to prevent this from happening.
