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              --- WinPoint 411.0        * Origin: Original WinPoint Origin!
