I live in Dubai, I have 1GB download speed fiber optics, and I'm on windows 11. I'm downloading the official WordPress version from wordpress.org
- The zip file is 25mb and it took like 5 minutes to download for some reason, via Google Chrome
- After the download is finished, I see that a virus has been detected, by windows defender. It's the first time that ever happens to me
Now I think I'm going to disable WordPress updates for all of my clients until this is solved, as all extensions and updates are pulled from wordpress.org
seems like a false positive by windows defender according to [this post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/virus-issue-wordpress-6-6-1-zip-shows-a-virus-from-windows-defender/) and [this post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-download-latest-version-6-6-1-on-windows-system/)
I don’t know, this false positive answer doesn’t explain the painfully slow download speed though, something doesn’t seem right.
I got the same warning yesterday in Microsoft edge after download wordpress.
Can you upload the flagged file into Virustotal?
