You can view all the malware flags at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unixname/malware (replace unixname with your projects name). Files are listed in three separate categeries: Suspicious files, whitelisted files, and additional information:

• Suspicious Files: Files marked as suspicious will require extra steps for users to download. It is recommended to take steps to fix these issues such as removing the files if they are outdated or fixing them to comply with the scanner. If you feel there is a legitimate reason for any of these files to contain known malware signatures, or are otherwise deserving of consideration for whitelisting, please submit a support ticket here.
• Whitelisted Files: This shows the files from your project that have already been whitelisted.
• Additional Information: These results are usually seen when a part of a file is unable to be extracted properly. This could be either an issue with the file itself or because the scanner had trouble doing that. If your files extract normally and work for regular users, then you do not need to make any changes.
