Avast Detected a Virus in Forge's server jar file

[ItzGoofyOliver]

Today i wanted to setup a minecraft server with mods so i setup my forge server and try and start it then avast instantally detects a virus in the jar file called IDP.Generic.

Its avast so i really trust it,



Can someone tell me if this is actually a virus and even if its not, what is it? (the screenshot is in french but yeah it basically says it was blocked because it detected a virus)

Make sure you only download Forge from https://files.minecraftforge.net/.

i did download it from the site but it still shows that

The avast is a piece of shit and wrongly detecting it. As you can see from the VirusTotal link, it is not detected by Avast there.

Welcome to the world of antivirus, where lots of things are snakeoil.

Yeah it detected a virus on the 1.16.5 version but not 1.16.4 version so its all fixed but thats still really weird
