Add Bitcoin data directory to exclusions. Check if that block has been moved to quarantine. You might be able to recover it. Here is the reason why Avast was triggered.

It's actually not because of randomness. People have been intentionally embedding viruses (or their signatures) in the blockchain so that antivirus software are triggered.

Unfortunately it cannot be recovered from quarantine or any other place from my PC.

Avast deleted block blk00129.dat from my chainlist

Hi everybody! During monitoring Avast suspected and deleted block blk00129.dat from my chain saying that this is kind of virus (AntiCad-4096). Now when I start bitcoin core I need to start download all blocks from the begginning. Maybe someone can upload this block on some shared file exchange platform like depositfiles.com? It's about 130 MG, not so big size.
Or maybe you tell me how to solve this problem. Any help will be appreciated.
