There is no malicious code in my launcher, you can examine the source code yourself. As for binaries, some antiviruses always identify executables compiled with PureBasic as malware. Even a very simple program like:

MessageRequester("Test Window", "Hello World")

is idenfied as malware, and more complicated programs may get more detections.

You can check that yourself, compile the above program with PureBasic (demo version is free to use) and upload the executable to VirusTotal.

I can do nothing about that.
