test.iso and test-2.iso being flagged as corrupt in Anti-Virus software

[nicholasrodriguez]

This isn't a typical code issue but does effect our use of the SDK in production.

We regularly build containers that have the vsphere-automation-sdk installed alongside items such as Ansible which work without any issues. We are finding that when the container is scanned by Anti-Virus software (Sophos) the following files are being noted as corrupt:

https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/blob/master/samples/vsphere/contentlibrary/resources/isoImages/test-2.iso
https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/blob/master/samples/vsphere/contentlibrary/resources/isoImages/test.iso

Using the above files directly download from this repo we've tried to mount them in Windows and Linux and they don't seem to be genuine ISO files although we can view the contents (an RTF file) in 7Zip.

Is it intentional that they possibly aren't ISO files? Is it possible for the files to be updated and made into ISO files without affecting the SDK functionality?
