ABP Suite Malware Issue - again #9547 | Support

stephenhynds created 14 days ago

I reported previously that ABP Suite was failing to install - https://abp.io/support/questions/9170/Error-installing-ABPSuite

The issue seemed to resolve itself and I managed to get it working. However it has returned today. I was switching suite version to use an older one with an older project and I get the same issue in BitDefender:

On-Access scanning has detected a threat. The file has been deleted.C:\Users\StephenHynds.dotnet\tools.store.stage\nfnpshtn.qth\volo.abp.suite\8.2.3\tools\net8.0\any\Volo.Abp.Suite.dll is malware of type IL:Trojan.MSILZilla.190641

I've tried the latest version and it won't install either so now I'm stuck again without one.

I'm going to try and get my admin to whitelist or temporarily disable bit defender for me whilst I install it, but ultimately this needs a longer term solution.

Thanks

Stephen

This issue is caused by a false positive from BitDefender, which incorrectly flags the ABP Suite executable as malware. This is a known problem with some antivirus solutions and .NET tools.
As a workaround, you can ask your system administrator to whitelist the ABP Suite installation directory or the specific file in BitDefender. Temporarily disabling BitDefender during installation is another option, but whitelisting is the recommended long-term solution.
ABP Suite is safe to use if downloaded from the official source. You can always reinstall it using the following command:
```
abp suite install
```
For detailed installation steps, refer to the official documentation.
