Re: Snort 3 rules - Antivirus

I believe this is normal, since AV detections based on signatures can trigger alert when they see pattern in Snort Rules. I had this alert earlier, it would help to create a folder and exclude that from defender scans. Also, verify the checksum of the file downloaded from Snort, just to be on safe side.

Thanks,
Jayesh

Subject: [Snort-sigs] Snort 3 rules - Antivirus


Dear Snort community,



I recently registered to be able to download the Snort 3 rules. Unfortunately, when downloading, Windows defender started complaining that a Virus was detected. Is this normal behavior or am I currently being attacked 😃?



Kind regards



Gerry
