My "daily bread" IP scanner tool as I am a network admin is vigorously detected and deleted by not-so-clever MS Defender as a super dangerous virus. I am puzzled as to why would a .7z be marked as dangerous - it is an archive, not an executable. Only if inside is exe then possibly yes, bit not .cdp.
Defender, like many antimalware products, will scan inside archives. If malware is detected it'll delete or quarantine the infected file archive and all. It's possible to infect an asset. There is some malware that can infect image files and it's possible that a .tga file or a .png file was infected with something and the asset was trashed by Defender.
Hi Forester1
I am sending you the file in *rar.

Very true. However, I could not detect anything. That is quite clever from the hackers to target pngs etc. I did not think that was possible. It appears it is.
I have always used various antiviruses from various well-known vendors and always got various issues from this. False positives and so on. A few years ago, I decided to get rid of it altogether.
I have removed a third-party antivirus and completely disabled Windows Defender via gpedit.msc.
All the issues and inconveniences went away with the antiviruses and the system working much faster. Nothing strange or suspicious has happened to the system over the years.
Warning: Do not try to do this if you do not have enough experience using a PC!

That could've been a false positive. They happen, but yeah images can be infected.

Fonts too and even binary-encoded EPS files. This technique was used to create the "Lino virus" that was aimed specifically at Linotronic imagesetters. These are large, I mean really, really large, film recording devices used to produce films for the printing industry. I can't find a link to any information on this one, thanks to the polluted search engines using directed searches, but it caused quite a stir in the early 90s.
The thing is any file containing binary data can be infected. Scary stuff!
Yes, the machines definitely run faster but there's still that risk that something can get in. It's not that you aren't careful in your browsing habits and work carefully, what used to be a safe website could be infected. Recently, as people have reported here, once safe Trainz-content websites are infected with droppers or some other malware that can then infect your system.
Can you give me some links to such infected sites? I really like experiments and I want to go to these sites and personally verify the existence of such threats.

Now that is literally asking for trouble. I hope you don`t regret it.
I was obviously misunderstood, this is not bravado or thoughtlessness.
I always know with confidence what I'm doing or not doing it at all. I just want to help those who do not have self-confidence, tell them how to distinguish a fake site from a real one and what not to do to get into trouble.
That is why I wrote in my first message regarding this:

I never said that it was. It is still, quite literally, asking for trouble. You`re just better prepared than most to deal with the consequences, I hope. "Send me the trouble! I`ll show you how to deal with it!" Nyet? Da?
Fair enough. I still hope that you do not end up regretting it.
As for disabling various items of the operating systems, and accepting the consequences, I do that myself on occasion, when it seems appropriate.
I also approve of what JCitron posted while I was writing this.
I totally agree.
Apparently I initially misunderstood and the answer to your question: "Send me the trouble! I`ll show you how to deal with it!" Nyet? Da? is of course YES (Да).
Suggest that we continue to use this thread for its intended purpose - the search for Missing Kuids.
Nevertheless, sometimes it's good to have a reasonable distraction.

Actually, I was thinking that you intended it that way, but I also thought that people would misinterpret it the way that you did, only they would find it funny, which you certainly did not. It was designed to be misunderstood, for the sake of humor. I apologize for that. Profusely. I had mistakenly hoped that you would find it funny too. I should not do things like that, as I tend to occasionally be somewhat oversensitive when others do it to me.
Agreed!
