I’m trying to send a zipped solution file to someone but my server apparently thinks it contains a virus and is rejecting it. Calling my ISP tech support line was no help at all.

Is there any work around for this issue?
 
Try renaming the extension to .doc or .dat and see if it goes through. I have seen ISP or Companies remove all .zip regardless if a virus scanner flagged it or not.

Another thought is the size of the file > 5 or 10 megs? I have seen ISP remove files greater than a certain size.
 
Also, make sure you remove all but the code files (for example, only keep the CS, CSPROJ, SLN, etc. files). You can often get by with excluding a \bin\ folder (and maybe \obj\). Maybe the scanner is rejecting the EXE within the zip?
