False Positive File too huge to upload

[alexander.toepfer]

Hello,

a customer of us stored a file on his Debian based server for several month or even years. Short time ago the Avast virus scanner recognized the executable file as a virus. The file size is 176MB so i can't upload it via the tool. How may I submit the file anyway?

I tried this one and my file is, as I said 176MB large.

I killed some personal information but here is the message of our server:


$ ~ # scan /group/XY/Files/Software/Budenberg\ 2018/BB18MPWI.EXE.VIRUS
