The email came from me actually. Here’s a screen shot of the email I sent, and how the person recieved it. They recieved it with that “virus error” in the subject.
The only thing in the email is the link that I manually pasted. The link worked as expected and the person opened the link on a browser and downloaded the files from the shared folders.

Hey oceanside22, thanks for the heads up and added info!
I'm thinking that this warning might be related to their email provider, could that be the case?
It definitely doesn't seem like this is an issue with your link, especially since they tried to open it without an issue, and download the content.
Could their email provider be warning them like so with every link in the body of the email? Or is it possible that they have any relevant security or antivirus plug-ins?
