If you want a scan, then you can do it by your self.
Why would we ask for a virus scan, these are source codes.

Nonetheless, thanks.
Because if malware was binded to some of the source files or folders, it could still infect your system. Even though most don't know how this works, just remember there is always someone a step ahead of the rest of us with that. Also remember that regardless of scans, a file could be easily FUD, as seen all over this forum. The above is for educational purposes.
I trust OP.
I will be downloading this later, as it will be an interesting read.

Not if you check the source and compile your own copy.

So you can get the contents without opening a file?
Remember that malware can be binded to any file type if the cracker knows enough about the file management in windows. Keep in mind that a file doesn't have to have execution rights to have malware binded to it, a good example of this is when it is binded to an image.(possibly binded to an icon if you include on in a source pack)
Keep in mind this is simply a theoretical discussion, and that OP is 100% trustworthy.

Well you cannot infect code files .cs or the project files .csproj, that way you can just open them in notepad and you can view the codes. You can check if it's infected. You can only have executable files being able to infect, even binded files are executable. I could be wrong, but that's how I understand it, notice I don't look much into malware stuff.
