ElasticSearch.Net dll quarantine from Antivirus - WS.Reputation.1

Question

Symantec Antivirus quarantines the ElasticSearch.Net dll and brings the web application down as access denied error is raised.

ElasticSearch.NET Version : 2.3.1

Symantec Version : 12.1.6

Only Symantec support will be able to tell you why it's engine deems this dll as not trustworthy. It might be that it is only considered potentially harmful because it was copied from an unsecure (network) location. – Sanfordsanfourd

Answer 2

if you are sure about this dll, restore it from the quarantine, and white list it. Or you can reload elasticsearch from a trusted server.
