Zotero not syncing

wqmul
Zotero synced fine a few days ago.

However, the last few syncing attempts have failed yesterday and today. Even following a full reboot of my Windows 10 PC, and a restart of Zotero.

Error codes 1611335716 and 1823517179 (I didn't generate a code the time before that).

Any advice would be appreciated. (I've just renewed my storage for another year too).

Thank you.

    Tried again, error in just 1 second! Error 774530336

    Said there was a virus in a particular TMP file but when I checked the relevant folder, there was no such file in that folder?

    This is just your security software flagging a file (likely a web snapshot) in your library. Search for the item key in the error message (PJ2S25W9) by pasting it into the Zotero search bar in All Fields & Tags mode, delete the attachment file that shows up, and empty the trash.

    Thanks very much, that worked and it seems to have synced now!

    It's very odd as that item was a webpage from a very well known security firm's blog about a particular vulnerability. Can't imagine that that firm had been hacked, but you never know...

    They likely just had some example text or code on the page that was picked up by your security software.
