SharpCompress.dll \ Virus/Win32.WGeneric.bgvbho

Hello everyone,

I've had a computer recently that got flagged in the firewall with this virus. The file name is SharpCompress.dll, however when scanning the computer I can't find the file. Virustotal also doesn't have anything on this virus or SharpCompress.dll when I search. Is this a false positive? Anyone else experience this in the firewall?

These signatures are false positives and will be disabled in the upcoming antivirus releases.
