Is it possible to fix it ? I know that false positives happens but this is a lot of them actually, i am using bitdefender and it detects a trojan before that i even opened it.

Ah this is the bat converted to exe runnable I guess. I need to check that and see what can be done to avoid it (of course I can let only the bat file... but less userfriendly. Thx !

Hum, even with a basic C program compiled to exe with a simple call to system() to run a bat will be detected as trojan. I think it is because of the bat path (which means uncontrolled execution).

Ok, by changing compilation options and linker flags I reduced to 6 the virus total detection (I can't do less, even with void main I still have 3 (Cynet, SecureAge APEX, Trapmine, targeted as malicious); I guess this is common without interaction on my side to contact providers to flag them false positive, but I will need to sign my exe, which is basically not possible without paying, or without requesting user to install my certificate).

I found how to reach 0 report. I will update report with final distribution here.
