I work for the Support team of a software company and today we have received some users that have reported an issue with the file ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll, which we include with our software.
I have also run the VirusTotal scan and here are the results table. It appears only Avast are flagging up the problem. Can this be looked into please?
