Virus alert when using Stimulsoft Reports

Problem

Windows Defender occasionally reports a detection of "Worm:Win32/Gamarue.C!cl" in the temporary Stimulsoft cache.

This leads to the following error response when preparing reports:

{"faultstring":"Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.\r\n","faultcode":"G_GEONIS server","logtimestamp":"LOG_SOE_1647360629","istranslated":false,"httpcode":500,"stacktrace":"","class":"IOException"}

Cause

Faulty detection patterns of Windows Defender

Solution

Exclude the directory from Defender scans via exceptions and/or send the affected files to Microsoft:
