Windows defender reports js\shellcode.gen virus #93

Is this something to be worried about ?? defender picks it up with all the versions I have tried.

This works by exploiting the browser to run unsigned code. Of course Defender sees this as a threat, that's the whole point of this. The same exploit could be used to run code (like a virus) on your Windows box without you noticing while visiting a website with a webkit-related browser (Safari, Chrome, Opera, ...).

You are doing something which the developers were actively trying to prevent and you honestly wonder why Defender reacts to it?

Its all said.

This could be fixed by uploading the elf and www folder in two different zip-files. Especially since most normal users won't need the www folder anyway.

Yeah I think that would be the better way. I will change the travis build script by chance if I dont forget it.
