Hitomi Downloader was detected as a virus today #5264

Open xZabuzax opened 2 years ago

I opened Hitomi Downloader today and started the update and suddenly, my anti-virus went crazy and deleted Hitomi Downloader and it's doing a complete system scan now, the hell? I never had this issue before and I've been using Hitomi Downloader for a couple of years now.

Is this software safe now? what are your suggestions?

What's your AV?

My AV is "Kaspersky Total Security (2021)"

The virus was detected after I pressed the "Automatic Update" button.

I'm glad to know it's a false positive, I was worried since in the other thread @jayvzh said that someone modified something in the download link or whatever with a virus file: https://github.com/KurtBestor/Hitomi-Downloader/issues/5250

I believe that has nothing to do with the false positive by pressing the "Automatic Update" button, correct?
