After the whole
virus catastrophe of 2023, we listened to members and built a live malware and virus scanner into our back end.
The catch is, it stops file uploads with names that contain hashes # and percentage signs % in them.
For example:
It's an aggressive scanner which uses definitions from VirusTotal and many other security vendors to ensure our site isn't destroyed again, but until we get our heads around it's complex whitelisting rules, new file uploads that contain either/or these two characters in it's file name
are blocked by default.
For now, please try and make sure your upload filenames don't contain any of these characters before uploading.
Thank you.
