Centos download flagged as containing viruses or malware
I have just (15 June 2018) tried to download the Centos LiveCD form Sourceforge onto my Windows 10 laptop, but the download manager in Firefox blocked it with the message that it contained viruses or malware. What is going on here? Is the live CD contaminated, or is this a false positive, and if so, how do I work around it?

We had the same more than once. That's why virus scanners are nothing I used the past.... 10 years? You can be very sure that this is a false positive as these guys same as we don't have any interest to spread viruses. Add the file it laments about to a exception and you are set.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.
