I tried posting this on Reddit but the mods have to approve it and haven’t yet. I’ll warn you guys.

I just downloaded the HumbleBundle Programming MEGA Bundle 2024 by Packt via torrent and stored it in my NAS. That system ran a virus check and found the file pragmaticmicroserviceswithcandazure.zip had a virus Win.Packed.Pwsx-10034067-0 in it. Is this common on HumbleBundle? I would expect something like this on a cybersecurity bundle for studying viruses but not on one about microservices. This zip file is for the book Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure.

    It’s true, though. This was you being an ass:

    No, I’m reading what you write and gathering that you have zero idea how torrents work or even what they are…

    What an asshole thing to say. And “running around”… Funny. It was one comment.

    Which is what OP actually downloaded from Humble…

    You said they downloaded the “tracker”. Wrong!

    I’m starting to gather that you have zero idea how torrents work or even what they are…
