Can't download Word Template: Trojan reported

asked Jan 24, 2017 in Bug by anonymous
I have tried a couple of times to download the Word template, but each time our virus scanner stops it, saying it's detected a Trojan.  Specifically, Avast claims it contains "VBA:Downloader-SW while Windows Defender calls it "Rundas!plock".

I think that this is a false positive.

Since the Word file contains VB that launches an external Java program, virus scanners get nervous about it.

I don't think we can do something to solve this, sorry about that.
