[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.

I re-downloaded the zip file in question but this time directly. Scanned it again and it came back OK. So you're telling me that HumbleBundle will let these torrents potentially have viruses? I thought the files came from some resources HumbleBundle controlled.
