Cannot use File. File was infected [CORE0300]

Matrix Version:
v5.4.5.3

Last week I created the following folder and files:

-SCSS
–global.scss
–layout.scss
–etc

The SCSS files are actually CSS assets and are imported by an SCSS Design asset which combines and crunches the output. I created these files and edited them as required last week, but now whenever I try to edit/save one of these files I receive the following error:

Cannot use File. File (layout.scss) was infected [CORE0300]

Has anyone else experienced this when working with SASS or have any suggestions?

You should only be getting that error if the SASS actually had content that clamscan decided was a virus or the virus checking is generally broken on the instance (in that case I’d expect the error to show up on all new files).

You would be correct David.Turns out we were not able to upload any files as the virus scanning engine was down on the server. Thanks.
