Description of the issue: I’ve noticed in my download history that a download is cancelled with the note “virus detected.” See image.
My question is:
Does Brave detect the virus, or is windows detecting it and Brave merely sees that information.
Is there a log where I can see more info. I’d like to review what was detected so I can determine if it is a false positive.
How can this issue be reproduced?

Hello @piratecapn ,
Brave relies on Windows Defender or your installed antivirus software to detect viruses. To review more details about the detection, check the logs in the Windows Security app under “Virus & threat protection” → “Threat history.”
