Resume Download Error ("Couldn't download - virus detected")
This article guides you through troubleshooting the issue of encountering a "Couldn't download - virus detected" message when attempting to download your resume as a PDF from KudosWall's AI Resume Builder.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Is Your Antivirus Triggering a False Positive?
The error message might be a false positive triggered by your antivirus software. Here's how to check:
- Test with Safe PDFs: Try downloading PDF documents from other trusted sources, such as bank statements. If your antivirus blocks these downloads as well, it suggests a false positive.
2. Disabling Antivirus (Temporary Measure):
Important Note: Disabling your antivirus software carries security risks. Only consider this as a temporary troubleshooting step:
- If you're comfortable with the temporary risk, disable your antivirus program and attempt to download your resume again. Remember to re-enable your antivirus immediately after.
3. Ensure Up-to-Date Antivirus Software:
Outdated antivirus software can cause compatibility issues. Update your antivirus program (e.g., McAfee) to the latest version following the software's provided instructions.
4. Send Your Resume by Email
If you're unable to download your resume, you can easily send it to your registered email address. Use the "Share" option on your resume preview to initiate the process. Please allow a few minutes for the email to arrive, and be sure to check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox.
5. Contact KudosWall Support:

Troubleshoot common issues

Remember:
- False positives occur when antivirus software incorrectly identifies a safe file as a threat.
