ERROR_VIRUS_INFECTED
Security software blocked an infected file
ERROR_VIRUS_INFECTED means that antimalware inspection prevented the requested operation because the content was classified as a virus or potentially unwanted software.
What to check
- Capture the security product and detection event from system logs.
- Verify the file source, signature, and expected hash.
- Do not disable protection or automatically add an exclusion.
- Quarantine the artifact and investigate how it entered the system.
How to handle it
Treat the file as untrusted until security review proves otherwise. Obtain a clean copy from a trusted source and confirm that deployment pipelines have not been compromised.
