   Jep. Found no reason to think different. Using the latest build, it magically   
   goes away. Just building a new release so people feel better about installing   
   )   
      
   Unfortunately, these false positives create a lot of mistrust against   
   developers and products. This has become a major issue over the years and   
   causes a lot of extra work for the developers. Back in my old job, every other   
   release had false positives on some scanner before we made a part of the   
   release process to check on virustotal before and submit the false positives   
   to the vendors or suppress them ourselves by minor changes on whetever. For a   
   hobby project, this is really annoying.   
      
   Even more, I have serious doubts about the whole "security" industry and their   
   products, because I think they are largely useless against actual threads.     
      
   Regards,   
   Tim
