[WARNING] Virus detected in latest HumbleBundle (sh.itjust.works)

I tried posting this on Reddit but the mods have to approve it and haven't yet. I'll warn you guys.

I just downloaded the HumbleBundle Programming MEGA Bundle 2024 by Packt via torrent and stored it in my NAS. That system ran a virus check and found the file pragmaticmicroserviceswithcandazure.zip had a virus Win.Packed.Pwsx-10034067-0 in it. Is this common on HumbleBundle? I would expect something like this on a cybersecurity bundle for studying viruses but not on one about microservices. This zip file is for the book Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure.

There is a chance that it is setting off a false positive some kind of heuristic. But it is definitely worth looking into more. Is it setting off windows defender?

It's not in Windows. The bundle was bought on their website and I used the torrent option to get the files through downloading them to my Linux server acting as a NAS. That server runs regular virus scans before I let it interact with any other system.
