How Shortcut Antivirus works?

The Shortcut Antivirus setups own IconHandler shell DLL and checks every displayed shortcut with LNK or PIF extension.

If it detects that shortcut may use Shell vulnerability then the Shortcut Antivirus displays the "blocked" icon and prevents infection.

Note!

Shortcut Antivirus can cause the false positive alerts on the Control Panel shortcuts.
It is not a bug. It is a behavior by design.

On my device, this ZIP archive also been flagged false positively. I think it might not able to pass the validation pipeline, hence it's not supported by winget.exe.

Note

Close as not planned with reason: Blocking-Issue Manifest validation is blocked by a known issue. Area-External Binary-Validation-Error An error was encountered during the Installers Scan pipeline step.
