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

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
